I didn't realize dropping this bomb or doing nothing were the only possible options, the whole 26 day campaign with two wounded US soldiers they did last year led me to believe there may be more options.

What reason is there for a war of aggression beyond imperialism?

[gozur88]

I don't think it's reasonable to characterize the war in Afghanistan as "imperialism".

[boomboomsubban]

So what do you call a war who's aim is to install a friendly government and take over some amount of the nation's sovereignty?

[gozur88]

I suppose I would call it that if that were the aim of the war.

[boomboomsubban]

Our goal was removing the Taliban, and taking the right to police residents of the country, particularly Bin Laden, without the need of jurisprudence. Set up a friendly government, take over sovereign right. What am I missing here?

[gozur88]

Okay. What does that have to do with "war of aggression" and "imperialism". We weren't there on a lark.

[boomboomsubban]

Starting the war for those aims is a war of aggression, removing the Taliban is setting up a friendly government, removing their right to police is a removal of sovereignty.

Really confused what you're going on about, you keep saying I'm wrong but don't try to say why.
