Position Paper Us vs Afghanistan
On September 11th 2001 America was attacked by terrorist. America will recover from this attack but recovery is not enough. These types of attacks and the people who conduct them must be eliminated from the world. The attack on America was so savage and so unnecessary that any response short of annihilating the perpetrators is not only inappropriate, it is unconstitutional and inhumane. We hate war as much as anyone does it is ugly; it causes misery, suffering and death... Unfortunately, we have no choice but to protect ourselves.
In order to bring protection to the American people, the American people must be assured that the dangers are eliminated. The only reasonable way to do this is through war. In other words war is the answer and war should continue until Americans live without fear. If we do not protect ourselves... who will do it for us? Not to fight and let the attackers live to murder again only means that we accept and support the terrorists.
Opponents of the pro-war idea have argued that we should respond to the recent terrorist attacks against the U.S. without using military retaliation and instead use economic and diplomatic sanctions against the terrorist. They also believe that maybe we can negotiate with these mass murderers. Some go so extreme into this no-war ' argument that they advocate a policy of pacification. Others believe that by halting the bombing in Afghanistan, all our problems would immediately cease.
And some feeble minded people suggest that "war is not the answer" but yet fail to state what the answer ' is. History has shown us that this is not the first attack on America, and we should now try our best to make it the last. Bombing some of our Embassies was bad but now they brought terror to American soil destructing two US landmarks and at the same time killing over 5,500 Americans. This act cannot be forgiven and we can not let the terrorist slide, not this time.
