Originally posted by Speedy Hi, Not sure this is the right thread to be posting this on but here goes. I'm originally from England but I have lived in the Middle East for 19 years, currently in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Also I was on vacation in America when the tragedy happened, in Iowa though. My thoughts go out to everyone that has suffered because of this. However, I do have to say that the "media" does wind people up and only show what they want the public to see. People think that because I am a woman (be it questionable at times..lol) that I am a second class person here, you couldnt be further from the truth. Yes, agreed there are a lot of restrictions in this area, some countries far worse than others, but at the end of the day, the sun shines all the time and I don't pay tax on my wages! Who are we, "we" being the "west", to say what is right or wrong in another country, is it right to find a village in Africa that has never seen electricity and "TEACH" them our ways. Because they kill their first born if it is a girl in some places in India doesn't mean its wrong, to them its a way of survival. Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying either way is right or wrong, its just something to think about. And back to the reason why I started this, I personally don't want a war to happen, if we kill Bin Laden that isn't going to be the end of it. Do we really believe that 1 person is responsible for all this, more so it should be that he is simply a puppet for a much bigger "person". So we kill him and someone else takes his place, as someone else said we will make a martye (can't spell) out of him. Jail, not an answer, 4 meals a day and a roof over his head? Sex change, well that isn't such a bad idea. Personally I think we should take all the ...hmmmm trying to think of way to put this without swearing...child molesters, murderers, terrorists etc and do the AIDS testing, shampoo testing, major chemical testing on them rather than the animals. (please don't go thinking im an animal rights activist either) I just think that we could put their bodies to some good use instead of just killing them, because killing them to me...they get off lightly. Thats it...speach over. Thanks for reading and most sincere apologies if I have upset anyone. Vic

So Speedy.. what's any of that BS have to do with some misguided a$$holes killing 6000 people and biting into the economy of those who feed their people???
