im afraid your right shrike.
do you (all of you) think the war will be carried over here?
alot of people think that the war will be fought soley on Afg soil.... but i dont know... i mean.... yeah they did already hit us.. but that was really war.. just terrorist attacks... whether they classify it as an act of war or not..... but that's kind of a good point now that i think about it.
We're killing civilians in AFghanistan!
while, yes... it IS not a good idea... NO, we shouldn't be going down to their level... they did do the samething to us. i dont think our allies will question it as much as you'd think. we gsve them options... and its either:
1) innocent people die because of their country/religion/gov't...
OR
2) innocent ppl die because they never did anything when they had the oppotunity to, so they just let the problem grow, instead of dealing with it.
We didn't attack them first, so why would they stop if we didn't attack them now? they wouldn't. we have to do something... and while war isnt number one on my list, i cant think of anything else to put there. we have tried to be cooporative, and they have decided not to be. we dont have much of a choice.
