The Wonder of Shari'a

Iran to hang teenage girl attacked by rapists.

"The teenage victim had no access to a lawyer at any stage and efforts by her family to retain one were to no avail. Atefeh personally defended herself and told the religious judge that he should punish those who force women into adultery, not the victims. She was eventually hanged in public in the northern town of Neka."
Very sad. I wonder how people let this kind of thing happen in the 21st century. Are people too afraid to stand up and be counted? Or are they happy with this kind of "justice"? All countries have their shameful moments when it comes to "justice" but this kind of thing makes me angry because there is so little I can do about it. And what makes me sadder still, is that you got voted down for posting it. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

Some do not like it pointed out. Notice that all I did was link to the article? My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking" -- modified at 17:03 Thursday 12th January, 2006

kgaddy has a tendency to find the flimsiest of sites that report the weirdest of events, then extrapolates that to all things Islam. My initial reaction is to assume the report itself is false, until I can find supporting evidence.

What do you think is going on right now? You can't just "install an interim government" without some attempt to making it stable. And you can't expect people with little practical experience in self-governing to just magically have a functioning government in a few months or whatever timeframe would suit you. BW
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

I agree, but that's what experts are for. We're supposed to be experts in democracy and nation building, aren't we? So bring in the experts and have them train the Iraqis in getting their nation going. I don't see why we need a 100,000+ armed presense for an indefinite period of time. It just seems to aggravate the situation. Regards, Alvaro

That why you are a programmer, and we have other people, like generals who know a lot more about this stuff than you or I. What would your response be to a person who said to you "Why are you charging me so much? It's just a webpage." You would probaly try to explain that there is much more involved than just creating buch of pages for a website. Like creating databases, tables, sprocs. Creating your business layer, getting the site running on a box. ect. I other words, you or I are not trained to know how many troops are needed. Lets leave that to the guys getting the job done.

If we did that then everyone would say it was just a puppet goverment of the US, right?

The invasion and continued occupation of Iraq has proven to be very risky and wasteful (in terms of lives, infrastructure, and costs).
I think this remains to be seen. Costly yes, but not wasteful. Time will only tell.
Alvaro Mendez wrote:

Exactly what we did. But we are going to pull out when the job is complete, otherwise it surly would be a waste. Why bother.
Alvaro Mendez wrote:
We would have returned home victorious (as true liberators, not occupiers)
We are not occupiers. There is a plan to leave, it's just that we are not going to say publicly when that date is becase the terrorist would just sit back and wait for that date. My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

Call it an incentive, not a reward.
kgaddy wrote:

Yes, but would we rather have some bastard in power or a puppet? A puppet that promises new elections within a short time-frame is acceptable, IMO.
kgaddy wrote:

Nope, we didn't pull out. We're still there and for who knows how long -- what determines that the "job is complete"? If the job had been considered "complete" once we had eliminated the tyrant, it would have been a lot easier across the board. Then the Iraqis would have had to sort it out (with our help of course), and perhaps even a civil war would have erupted (as it may still happen). But the bottom line is that Saddam would be gone. And in the future a new leader would have to play nice with us... or risk Saddam's demise.
kgaddy wrote:

I know we keep saying that we're not occupiers (and I believe it). But that's not the impression we give. And the enemy uses that against us. If what you say is true about the terrorist waiting for us -- the only practical way to avoid that is to never leave. If we leave in a year or 10 years, the terrorist will always be waiting. You see, terrorism is not an animal you can just beat up repeatedly until it dies. It's a tactic. Alvaro

I agree, but that is what we are doing, besides the puppet goverment part. I think we are on the same page to a point. You want to do the job but in a fast cheap way. I think this would be more costly in the long run and may end up worse for us.

Well Bush has stated when the Iraqis can handle things themselves. We were in Japan for 6 years after WWII. It takes time.

This is what I meant. The terrorist do not know when we are leaving. So they keep attacking, we eventually kill them all, or enough of them so the Iraqis can handle it themselves. If we told them we are leving in 6 months, they would quit the attacks, wait 6 months, then attack the new Iraqi goverment.

In the end you may be right. But it's wayyy to early to know. During WWII we had a hard time at first. There were a lot of mistakes made, but in the end we won. Do I think everything we have done was 100% right? no. But I never expected it. It's impossible. Lets talk in 10 years and see where this thing is.

That was not your original question/statement. You wrote "So are you going to try to paint sharia in a good light???? I would love to see this.", which is clearly a strawman. If you really were interested in knowing his opinions about sharia laws, you wouldn't imply that he supports hanging of raped teenage women, but ask him a direct question such as "Do you support sharia laws?".
