The article "First, Stop the Bombing" is about the decision of the United .
States Government to bomb the Afghanistan after the terrorist attacks in United .
States in September of this year. There are many legitimate, complex, and se-.
rious questions about how the United States should respond to the horrifying .
attacks of September 11th.The article claims that the American government .
should have tried to review its international policies to better understand the .
reasons why the attacks happened in first place. It also claimed that the bombs .
aren't going to kill Osama Bin Laden or the Taliban leaders, but what is left of the .
already weaken civilian infrastructure, after the last war.("The Soviet Union .
severely bombed most of the infrastructure in the 1980's").
I agree with the article because it has a clear vision of what the United .
States didn't try to do before it started bombing Afghanistan. .
The United States, first of all, should stop the bombing, change its international .
policies in the Middle East, and stop the continuous help to Israel.
" First, Stop the Bombing". First of all, let's start with the purely practical considerations, the bombs are not going to kill Osama Bin Laden (who is almost certainly hiding somewhere safely out the line of fire), nor the Taliban leaders, they are hiding too. The direct consequence of the bombing is that, many innocent civilians, who do not support Osama Bin Laden or the Taliban leaders, will be killed. The already weakened civil infrastructure, after the last war, (the Soviet Union bombed most of the infrastructure in the 1980's) will be destroyed. It will also create the kind of political backlash that Osama Bin Laden wants, with a direct consequence of new terrorist attacks in the United States. Million of refugees have already crowed into Pakistan or are waiting at the border, to get in. There is no medical support, and food for all of them, considering that the winter is coming.
