Is anyone else suspicious of Bush and Ascroft's military tribunals? These secret military trials have no place in an advanced democracy. Military tribunals have been used as the perferred form of "justice" in military dictatorships in Latin American during the 70's and 80's and more recently as the "justice" system of the Taliban. Do we really want to use the same "justice" system as military dictators and uneducated religious fundamentalists?
I do support the war in Afghanistan and the Operation Enduring Liberty. Many people our age are out there fighting for our freedom and safety and I have nothing but respect and admiration for them. Also, I commend the Bush administration's policy of food drops and other aid for Afghan civilians. i hope that the people of Afghanistan (esp. the women) are able to build a stable democracy for themselves.
Just my 2 cents as an International Studies major
