How is Bush escalating violence? Easy. 1) Bombing the hell out of Afghanistan. 2) Sending troops to eliminate the Taliban soldiers. 3) America already killed thousands of Taliban.
Those three reason are how Bush has escalated violence.

I see a fundamental error in your thinking. To you, the battlefield consists solely of Afghanistan. That's just not true. The terrorist attacks of September 11th did not take place in Afghanistan, but they are as much a part of this war as the bombing of Kandahar. Bush didn't escalate the violence. He didn't initiate the conflict. Al Quaeda did that. Shouldn't Bush do something about that?

Yes, America soil was part of the battle ground. I realize that. But, Bush says that in Palestine/Israel can have peace if they stop the violence. Again, why doesn't USA do the same thing? Taliban initiated the violence, yes, but America has done alot of damage to Afghanistan. So I do not see how more destruction of lands can win anything.

Let's say somebody kills your mother. You know who he is. He has said that he will kill your father next.
Will you idly stand by and let him do it because you don't believe in killing to prevent further violence?
Let's suppose you give him the benefit of the doubt. Then he kills your father and targets one of your siblings next. Will you still take no action?

Wow. That is one hell of an example. And you know what? I seriously don't know what I would do. Sorry that I cannot answer that question.

Remember, Al Quaeda not only masterminded the September 11th attacks but has also bombed U.S. embassies and military bases, resulting in hundreds of deaths. Should the U.S. stand idly by and not defend itself?

Well, America did not start to get serious about terrorism after it happened on main land America. I seriously do not think that America thought that anybody would have the guts to attack them on home land. America did stand by and not defend itself. And September 11 was the result.
