However, some basic things like oppressing women, executing random groups people for crazy religious laws, all these seem like harsh living conditions and need to be stopped immediately.
As for Iraq, that's another topic. Plus the GC lurkers are looking for another reason to bash America for not finding weapons, so I don't want to divert this thread. Radical Islam seems to prey on innocent people and influence the weak. They managed to turn Afghanistan into their personal little playground of destruction. Saving that country was the least we could do.

I'll agree with you on Afghanistan but for different reason. I can't condone any country that hides Bin Laden and tells us that we're hiding a man who is the mastermind of 9/11. That alone was more than enough for us to go and teach the Taliban a lesson.
Radical Islam isn't much different than Non-Islamic groups who are slaughtering muslims in Serbia and the Sudan. But I don't see a military influence in the Sudan. Well not one who goal is to go over and wipe their radical ideals o ut.
