"You can only reason with reasonable people."
There's no question that our enemies have decided to use destructive weapons against us. In fact, there was never a time when we tried to have a dialogue with bin Laden or his group, for it was always so adamantly hating of us.
However, it's not true that they are insane people, or somehow illogical, or otherwise unreasonable. If one were to objectively look at their situation and then at the religion they preach one can see how easy it is for them to arrive at conspiracy theories. For one, they live in poverty. Second, they see the rest of the world prospering but not them. Third, anybody in the world can bastardize a religion towards hatred and violence.
The fact of the matter is that killing them is wrong, and that we're doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to combat what's really wrong with the world. If human lives are really worth so much, then why do let them live in poverty? What's worse? A country that let's most of the rest of the world starve while it fattens itself up or a country that keeps a terrorist so it can pay for the military to protect itself?
I just want people to realize that despite the good feelings and patriotism going around in America, that deciding to go to war is morally wrong, especially when we ignore the real problems. Killing them will only solve it temporarly. If the people still live in poverty they'll find a reason to hate us and want to blow us up.
