The Taliban, the government that we overthrew, still have offices, still exist, are still there to talk to, and will take over again as soon as we leave, and we will leave one day. There is no option. I do not like to get into these discussions because I do not like to defend the Taliban. I oppose all they stand for but we invaded their country and they defended bravely. I hope that I would be as brave if my country was invaded. We then dropped leaflets that said "if you surrender, you will be sent home". And those that were stupid enough to surrender were sent to Guantanamo along with lots of other poor unfortunates who got sold out because the CIA offered bounties to anyone that could inform on a terrorist, so every bent policeman in Yemen and Pakistan etc. gave the name of someone they did not like and received $1000.

I would be interested to learn why you think you "know" that Bin Laden was a "leader" and that he "approved" attrocities. It is only G.W.'s propaganda that would give you that impression and if you think about some of the other facts that he produced like Saddam's WMD you would realise that his "truth" is doubtful. If you research further you will find lots of reason to doubt the story of Bin Laden. Why was he such a welcome guest in the US? etc. etc. I do not think you "know" anything, you just believe the propaganda like good follower. If he had been brought to trial we may have found out some facts. That is why they killed him.

"Fair enough... but then why do you still go to war? Why did you come and fight in Iraq with us then? That war was pointless."

Because your boss bribed our boss and made him very rich. The British people went out onto the streets of London in what must have been one of the biggest demonstrations ever (over 1,000,000) because unlike the US, most British actually follow events and could realise beforehand that there were no weapons of mass destruction.

It is a classic example of why democracy is as BS as the rest.

"Would you say that was unjustified?"

Yes, because that made it murder. If they were not ready to give him a trial they should not have gone after him. You accept that he is the evil nemesis only because the people that made billions from a war, told you he was. Without that fair trial, he was an innocent man and shooting him was murder. He was unarmed when they entered his bedroom, there was no need or reason to shoot him. They should have given him a fair trial so that the world could see the man to be who they claim he was. Now it all looks like a lie.
