LL,
"But perhaps as they are not Americans they do not count?"
well,I'm European myself and I'm getting enough if this anti-american behaviour.Please answer following questions to yourself
1)Was the U.S. attacked for a valid reason,so did those 3000 people died that day for a reason?
2)Was Afghanistan attacked for a valid reason?the americans chased away the Taliban-regime and were able to do some major damage to the Al-Qaida infrastructure.I don't know the exact amount of deads in the attack of th U.S. on Afghanistan,but I think Afghanistans in general will have a happier life after U.S. attacks.
3)Should America not have attacked Afghanistan,thus letting terrorists carry on their work of killing innocent people?
