I love the words of a die hard patriot. The irony in these statements would be funny if I didn't suspect you were dead serious.

One, you seem to be under the impression that these are a bunch of maniacs running around with the sole intent to spill blood. These are people who believe in their cause, and that their violence is justified for the sake of their cause. This is no different from almost any other American. Americans believe that they are fighting a war on terrorism, and therefore that makes their violence against another person justified for them. Islamist terrorist groups believe that they are fighting against an oppressive Western regime, and therefore their violence is justified in their eyes.

Two, YOU set rules, why do THEY have to follow them? Or maybe THEY set the rules, and YOU are just being a sore loser when you can't play to the rules. This is a guerilla war, and America is tramping around like a moron, doing the exact opposite of what it needs to do to win a guerilla war, by fighting a conventional war. By doing so, they're guarenteed to kill more civilians than enemy combatants. So actually, your "rules" are more fake than the reason we started this war in the first place. The real rules are being played by the enemy, and America is too clueless to adapt to the new ruleset.

Three, you just equated civilian deaths to combatant deaths. That's just plain retarded of you. Civilian =/= combatant regardless of the situation. Just because you can't distinguish between the two, doesn't mean they are one and the same. Using that logic, you might as well just nuke the country and call it a job well done. After all, all those Muslims looked so darn similar, you might as well kill them all just to be safe.

Four, I'm not even going to try explaining how American culture is influenced by the military. If you can't see it by now by yourself, you're either blind and deaf, or have your head stuck in the sand.

Five, Osama isn't trying to protect his fellow citizens? Again, you have to understand the insurgency before you start mouthing off about them. They are fighting against Western influence, therefore they view this "war" America started as an invasion. Fighting against this invading force is the only way they can protect their citizens from the Western taint in their eyes.

Six, of course America's motives weren't only to cause death. There's a lot of oil there too. It's no coincidence that all the oil contracts for the region were switched from Russian and Chinese companies to British and American companies after the invasion. America is anything but angelic in this conflict.
