That's one way to justify your stupidities. "Absurdity" wasn't clever enough to understand what I wrote. Clearly you're not either. That's fine, you're both still on the bell curve. Speaking about zealousness, read what you wrote in the context of being zealous regarding political correctness.

Right, here we hit the crux of something I have an issue with. How does this imply that non-legal methods will work better than legal methods? You seem to go out of your way to keep your comments as vague as possible, as if you are testing the water, then when every one points out you are talking nonsense you morph the meaning slightly and try again. Then when you think the dust has settled you go back to your original false premises. Anyway, staying with this one. What makes you think _your_ ideas will be more suitable than a legal process. Saying "Dealing with the problem while it is still small makes success more likely" applies equally to using the law. > Waiting until it's too big to handle (WWII is an example) > means that more money, lives and wealth will have to be used > to prevent the enemy from winning. I know you refuse to have web access but I am sure your library can lend you some books on logical fallacies. This is an appeal to fear. > This is a war. What you can't seem to cope with is that you > don't have a single country to deal with. You might want to re-read those two sentences and see how little sense they make. There is no "country" to deal with so who do you declare war on? Remember, you can not meaningfully declare war on concepts and ideas. > Thus, diplomacy isn't > one of the tools that can be used. You all have been so reliant > on using diplomacy and dealing with countries, you can't seem > to grasp that the rules have changed out from underneath you. This feels like groundhog day. You resolutely refuse to acknowledge anything people say to you, even if you grudgingly accepted it a few posts previously. You constandly avoid making any clarifications of your claims - see the posts where unsettled has taken it upon himself to defend your outrageous claims that Europe asked for US help in Korea. >>>>> What if the infrastructure isn't there any more becaues that >>>>> is what was messed up. >>>> >>>>You overestimate what a few ppl can achieve.

You seem unable to comprehend that civilisations are capable of surviving problems in areas and rebounding. To destroy "western civilisation" you would need to have this sort of problem everywhere. >>Why is calling in the US Army a sign of failure? > > Two years after the mess was made? Did you misread my question? >> That means people _do_ know >>how to fix things. > > No. Their governor just made a speech complaining about the > US not giving them enough money. They are corrupt. Yet, people (the US Army) do know how to fix things. As a result your prounoucement that no one knows how to fix things is false. >>It is like saying no one knew how to re-wire the electric in my house >>without calling in an electrician. > > It's worse than that. People don't seem to know how to hammer a nail > and wait for "The Government" to do the work. Notice the word "seem." I bet people do know how to do the work. Do you think the president himself was the person repairing the damage? The people who do the work are people. Your argument is self falsifing. >>> One passenger boat sinking in (I think) the Red Sea caused a riot >>> and shut down a port. >>> >>> I am assuming that all welfare, upper-middle class neighborhoods will >>> be in the same situation.

Oh dear. The last two weeks of posts have vanished out of your memory now, haven't they?

I have said nothing about politically correct zealots. You must have read some meaning into what I wrote that wasn't actually there. Graham

This is nonsense. Watching electronic cash flows is irrelevant to officers following the suspect.

Seconds. Have you heard of radios?

As did you earlier on which is why I said putting surveillance on the suspect is the most productive, in case the person who is about to take the C4 bus to paradise is going to leave more terrorists behind. You are so determined to pontificate nonsense you have lost the ability (if you had it) to make a self sustaining argument. >>As a result of this, terrorists in Europe have increasingly moved towards >>cash transactions for their dealings, to the extent of shipping in large >>quantities of cash notes from overseas to avoid triggering the bank >>responses. > > You've just negated your argument. Really? How? The suspect is under direct surveillance and their cash flows are under electronic surveillance. What in that negates my argument which says that is the best way to do things? Do you even know what you are talking about now? >>The association of Chief Police officers describe surveillance [*] as the >>most effective weapon against terrorism. > > It was not effective. It was. > None of this stopped the IRA from bombing. How many IRA bombing attempts were prevented? No security measure will be 100% effective. Nothing the US, the UK, French, Brazillians, Koreans, Chilleans or any other nations can do will be 100% successful in preventing criminal or terrorist [if you demand they are different] behaviour. You have set an unatainable standard and demand any competing ideas match it, using the false claim "your" ideas will meet it. You use this line of logic to propose that your ideas (which haven't worked elsewhere) will work. > It went on for decades. The US' goal is stop this behaviour, not > coddle it along. Hahahaha. Your use of logical fallacies is amazing. Every country has the goal of stopping the behaviour. Despite your frequent appeals to history you seem to have a strange view point of what history shows. The US will never 100% prevent terrorist attacks - even killing every single Muslim on Earth would not prevent it. >>> It is their strength at the moment and >>> has most of the West (people who have similar assumptions as >>> you do) stumped in how to deal with this new danger. >> >>More FUD. Most of the west is certainly *not* stumped how to deal with the >>danger. > > From these posts, it sure is. Nonsense. > You keep wanting to deal with this using your criminal law. This > doesn't apply to anybody who is outside your country. Now, last time I looked most terrorists had to enter the country they wanted to blow things up in. I am not sure which terrorist group has access to ICBMs, or where they have launching space, but I am sure you know of lots. (yes, that is an appeal to ridicule) > With today's technology someone can make a big mess in another country > without going there. FUD. Which terrorist attack of the last 10 years was carried out without terrorists being in the country attacked? Even the 11 Sep strike was done with internal flights so the terrorists were already in the country before the hijack began. You may think that terrorists can "blow up bridges" in the US without leaving their Sudanese training camps but this is not the case. If you are talking about electronic based "hacking" attacks then criminal law still applies and is used. I dont remember the US invading a country because of a hacking attack though. >>> Most >>> of you don't even believe there is a danger and all refuse >>> to admit it's deadly. >>> >>>> >>>>> You people are >>>>> aware that an internet exists?

In the same way all other police information is gathered. If you cant identify the target enough for a warrant how do you decide who to carry out a military strike on? I notice you deftly avoid answering anything which points to the logical gap created when you claim using the law is not going to work because it is too hard to prove who the "mess makers are" but you advocate military action on the same, lack of, evidence. |
