Assassinate known terrorist leaders

It would have saved us from going into Iraq

ASSASSINATE ALL TERROIST LEADER IS THE KEY TO PEACE. THESE PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE TO HURT US, WE'VE DONE NOTHING TO HARM THEM. THIS WAR IS ABOUT CONFLICTS BETWEEN OUR LEADER AND THE ENEMY, AND WE SHOULD STAND BY HIM EVEN THOUGH HE IS A BIT CRAZY BUT THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES TO FIGHT THESE DUMBFUCK TERRORIST. WHAT SENSE DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE, SEVENTY-SOMETHING VIRGINS, OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE SEXUAL PROBLEMS! OUR FUTURE LIES UPON BUSH. BUSH WILL NOT MESS UP HIS ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE HIS PARTY ALREADY DID, NOW IT IS UP TO BUSH TO SAVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. BUT REALIZE THIS, EVEN THOUGH BUSH IS A CRAZY MOFO BUT HE IS SOMEWHAT ON THE RIGHT TRACK WITH NORTH KOREA WHICH I THINK HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE SAME STEP WITH IRAQ BUT THIS WILL LET THE WORLD KNOW HOW TERRORISISM IS A FEAR THAT WE ALL MUST DEFEAT. AND TERRORIST WILL KEEP AT IT UNTIL WE DO SOMETHING. WORLD PEACE. UNITED STATES OF THE AMERICA, THE GREATEST WORLD POLICE EVER MOFO'N TERRORIST. WATCH OUT. THERE IS SOME OF THOSE MOFO IN AMERICA RIGH... Read more

I agree with what rocks is saying but there is a clear difference between freedom fighters and terrorists. Freedom fighters usually operate within their own country and go for military/political targets. Terrorists such as Bin Laden go for civillian casulties! Assasinate the leaders of Al Kaeda now that will do alot more damage to them than bombing afganistan civillians (in doing the latter were as bad as they are)

Terrorist is a label, and a label only. In Afghanistan, where Usama Bin Laden has built roads and schools, he is labeled Freedom Fighter. Here in the U.S., he is labeled Terrorist. Palestinians fighting the Israeli Occupation are labeled gunmen and terrorist, not homeland security forces or the Palestinian defensive army. In much of the middle east, George Bush (both of them) is labeled a terrorist. By using labels, our leaders (and their's) create a mental association for their subjects, most of whom never question or investigate the labels and subsequently never make up their own mind. For example: the Republican smear campaign labeled triple-amputee senator Max Cleland a terrorist sympathizer in the 2002 Georgia senatorial campaign: The Vietnam veteran lost the race, because people didn't look at the hero who left most of his body in Vietnam in any other term other than the one spoon-fed to them by the GOP campaign machine. He was labeled something glaringly incorrect, and p... Read more

This is as if we have lost to them - so now we'll join them. Very stupid.

We are the most advanced hunter-gather society in the world; we just make other people do it for us. As we do this, we shift more and more governmental power to corporations while we create more and more debt. Who has to pay for this debt? The American people. And why do we do this? For profit. The purpose of capitalist, free-market economy is to make profit off finite resources. Everything in this world is finite except the human want. The economic policies of our country have turned into a prime example of how cancerous society can be. What do Americans have to show for their increased standard of living? Big buildings. Big vehicles; lots of vehicles. Expensive rent: so expensive we have millions of homeless people. Temporal clothing. Better education that kids can't get to, through, or pay for. Computers that increase the speed of our lives, but not the quality of our living. Assembly line music. Less freedoms, more fear, less to show at the end of the day. More Garb... Read more

Known terrorist leaders should be outed. Then their human rights should be cancelled. That way if anyone should kill them, it would not be a crime. Hunting them could become a popular sport.

Why not? If these guys want us dead, then absolutely, we should assassinate known terrorist leaders. It is really the only logical way to even remotely win the War on Terrorism. If you kill the tree, the branches will start falling. Will the death of a terrorist leader make them martyrs? Yes. But, should that make us afraid to defend ourselves against terrorism? If someone kills your brother, would you NOT seek justice because you're afraid the murderer would come after you? Sometimes, fear and danger are a risk when defending the cause of freedom. Victory is never possible without facing danger.

For everyone who rated this as "terrible". Wake up and look at what's going on. The Freak says that all we can think of is killing. In order to have all of our freedoms, we must protect them. Another argument is that they will turn themselves into martyrs. I disagree. They haven't so far. Even if they do, who cares? Let's just keep killing our enemy. People need to open thier eyes and face reality. Thier is no negotiating with these people. They want to kill you. And they will if they have the chance. Let's stop them before they get that chance. According to these people who gave it a 1, do you think we should have not took action after Pearl Harbor. Its called self defense.

It seems to me that if you're opposed to this, then you should be a pacifist and be opposed to all acts of war, including self-defense. But if you feel that it's okay to kill enemy soldiers, then why not get rid of the terrorist leaders as well?

For those of you who are against the assassination of known terroists. Put youself in the place of those people who were on those planes. Their deaths and those that resulted in the crashes were the terroists' way of negociating with the west. We need to negociate back in the same manner. Violence breeds violence. This is true and very unfortunate. Keep in mind that terroism at this level is new to our world, which means we are dealing with first generation terroist 'dons'(I think that's an organized crime word). Then come the lieutenants and then the lower ranks. The 'dons' now control the contacts for support and money. The lieutenants don't. With the 'dons' eliminated the network begins to disorganize.As long as the terroists organizations as carefully watched and any new leaders are eliminated as they step forward. They'll soon stop stepping forward and think of perhaps peaceful ways to achieve they're goals. Think of a modern day army without generals,captains etc. (leaders). With... Read more

Hell, why not? They're all out to get us anyway. You might as well start at the top. Now there is no doubt in anyone's mind that Saddam is a terrorist leader. We should have ousted him 12 years ago. Terrorists want to destroy America as much as European Liberals do. For that reason, we could use Janey Lane's tree-hugging ass as a human shield when we go to war!

If it is the last resort, it will save many lives. The bad side, however, is that they will be seen as martyrs and loved throughout the Muslim world.

Not a good idea. This would only make them martyrs in the eyes of their followers. That's exactly what happened when Jesus was crucified. I respectfully submit that the cycle of violence in the Middle East may only intensify further and draw eager young recruits into the propaganda being perpetrated by both sides. Terrorism knows no ideologies, national borders or ethnic groups. It's found everywhere and is a cancer upon humanity.

I agree! I think that if we know who they are and know that if in fact, they will do harm to our people or any others, TAKE THEM OUT! I think that if bin Laden came knocking on my door, he would be a dead man. Or for any terrorist for that matter.

Well, this is the most stupid thing to do because they don't know who did it. The government is forcing the media to feed America a lot of stupid crap about what's going on. Actually, there is a lot more to the attack than meets the eye. Assassinating known terrorists leader isn't going to do a thing but make other terrorists angrier. These people are for real about their terrorism. If anyone is willing to kill themselves just to be able to kill others, that's some crazy stuff. The people who did this will get what's coming to them. In the meantime, it's not our job to play God. We can only retaliate when you know who the culprit is. Peace and Love

In this war against terrorism that we are going to have to fight, it would be logical to go after ALL known terrorist leaders. When any country does a military operation; it must complete all objectives, not one of them or half of them. The problem may be exacerbated if we do leave some terrorists because that will only cause instability in the Middle East. In addition, the terrorists will become more daring in their attacks if we do leave some of them. Some countries in the Middle East do have known terrorists within their own borders; at times the respective governments of these countries may even sanction their activities. Perhaps the threat of U.S. military force may cause these countries to reconsider harboring these outlaws. We cannot just go into Afganistan to seize Osama bin Laden and his associates. There are terrorist networks which cross national boundaries, and to those ends, we must assassinate known terrorist leaders. You cannot destroy the head of the monster and leave t... Read more

Take them out now!!! Why wait for them to give more orders to kill innocent people???

The individuals responsible for this type of terror are not human beings. To use words associated with humanity when talking about them is wrong. Human beings are murdered, they shall be exterminated, extinguished, squashed. We must rid our planet of this filth.

For what reason? To stop terrorism altogether? In that case it will not work. I hate to use a cheesy metaphor but I was watching a documentary about different packs of animals and realized something. Terrorists are, in a way, a lot like killer bees (I said it was cheesy). If you kill or injure one of them the others will go berserk and not let anything get in the way. Even if most of the 'members' of the terrorist leaders pack would come to be killed in the struggles, they probably wouldn't give up. They would just retreat from the lime-light until they found another leader and could start all over again.

Assassinate, assassinate, assassinate! Is that all you people can think of? Killing? Anyone who thinks the only way to deal with this is through killing would do themselves and the whole wide world good by having a lobotomy. I personally think we should lock anyone who had a hand in this attack up in jail and throw the key away. But killing? Never. This topic was badly worded. Do they mean people who we know had a hand in the attack, or people who we know are terrorist leaders? Assuming the answer is the second option, known terrorists could have nothing to do with this, even if that is unlikely. For all we know, it could have been an American! Jumping to conclusions can sometimes be more dangerous than a nuclear weapon. So please, let's not do it.

It will save many lives.
