Advantages: there are no advantages to war.

Disadvantages: innocent life lost because of pride

Not wanting to sound out of place or anything, but this really was the inevitable for America. They parade there way about countries of the middle east, Asia and demand items or information and rely solely upon there sheer size and power. Now how many people have America killed for some cause that’s quite difficult to work out on my behalf, thousands, hundreds of thousands.

Now not for one second am I saying that the attacks on the world trade centre and the attack on the pentagon were just and right for those countries, or mainly Afghanistan to exact there revenge in that fashion. The television pictures sent shivers down my spine whoever had planned the attacks really had hit the target and made some point which was yet to be seen at that point. We all remember pictures of people celebrating on the side of rivers watching the big screen as America’s mighty buildings crumble. To them I think this was much like the rebel fighters in star wars taking out the death star, to us this was grievous crime against humanity as we ourselves had many people within the towers as they collapsed, so to remember that if this was attack on America they killed, no slaughtered innocent bystanders of a war that wasn’t theirs.

Now we have another problem, pride. When your top and somebody else that could be classed as bottom given their size and power, destroys a vital part of your empire then you don’t just take that nicely and agree to forgive and forget, especially if your country means everything to you. To those people that lost a loved one, I believe the anger was just, they had no warning all those that didn’t want to be involved in what war was brewing were given no warning to get out of the way.

I have a few questions that still never seem to be answered. What is the purpose of the war on Afghanistan? Why are the English marines over there? Do America not have enough power considering there size? Why are some soldiers d
efending and piece keeping? And others running into the hills blowing up whatever they see moving? Because there not quite sure even with all this godly power of technology where Bin laden or in fact anybody is.

To those of you that read my opinion and have lost loved ones or those close to your families. I’m really sorry for your losses and I did prey for them.

To anybody reading this though that thinks the war on Afghanistan is right and just. But in other opinions they would comment that two wrongs don’t make a right. Follow your own advise America has not achieved anything by this attack on the afghans you are emphasising to the world how much you want your own little war.

If the aim was to find bin laden then that should be the purpose of the movement in Afghanistan.
