War of the Worlds
For all those Australians back home i feel I must let you know how much the average American wants war.No matter how you cut it this is what they want and this is what is about to go down.Here at CO we have over 100 aircraft ideal and 100 times that in human terms, yet the worst is to come.Things here are BAD and all feel very worried for their future, as do I. I must say i feel scared.

I join you in your fear. I'm not surprised Bush is acting as he is, watching him here in Oz during the lead up to his election was cause for grave concern. What is surprising is just at how early in his Presidency he's brought the world to the brink of .....

I am pleased that Australia and other countries have got behind America in this fight. This is not about foreign policy,oil wells and the communist takeover - this is about a cowardly attack on innocent civilians going about their daily business.
Terrorists are the lowest form of gutless scumbag alive today. They haven't the balls to attack in convential warfare and prey on the vunerable civilian. Poor sad,sick b@stards! Suicide and you will be rewarded in paradise - well prepare to meet Allah you sickos.
This is not a war against Islam - it is war against the likes of bin Laden,Gadaffi and their supporters. Wipe them off the face of the earth as far as I am concerned.
Three countries were invaded before the world realised what Adolf Hitler was about - let us not make the same mistake again.
God bless America and their Allies in this war against freedom and the right to live in peace with our neighbours.
Keep the faith :]

And the scary part of all this is Pakistan and India's pending involvement. Didn't both these countries carry out nuclear bomb tests a few years back?

I'm finding here in the UK that there is a lot of sabre rattling going on as as Blair gets closer to Bush. The allready high security has gone up another level. However there is widespread comment about the US dollars that have been pouring into the IRA and that If Bush and Blair are sincere about fighting terrorism then they will both have start in their own backyards.

Smiling monkey, nobody wins in ANY war...
I am gravely concerned about the retalliation to any US action that occurs, but I think this case goes well beyond the threshold of 'turning the other cheek.'

ANFO - I'll cut you some slack due to the personal problems you might have at this time but in future,before mouthing off, I suggest you RTFQ !
no name - I gather you have realised the irrelevance of comparing the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with hunting down and neutralising the gutless,cowardly terrorist organisations that pollute our world today.

Just one question that will help clear a few things up in my mind. How can Muslims declare a holy war against America?? As i understand, a holy war is against another religion (i.e the Crusades) Now America isnt a religion, it is a nation. So how can a holy war be declared against America?? Surely it must be against Christianity or Catholisicsm, something that is actually a religion, not a nation.
Hope that made some sense

And so it begins! This extract from the Sunday Times (UK)
SAS troops clash with Taliban unit deep inside Afghanistan
James Clark, Tony Allen-Mills
and Stephen Grey, Washington
SAS troops in Afghanistan have been fired upon by Taliban soldiers in the first clash of the campaign against global terrorism.
Nobody was hurt, military sources said, adding that the gunfire had been "more symbolic than directed". They suggested that the small SAS team had "spooked" Taliban soldiers near Kabul, who had fired indiscriminately before fleeing.
However, the incident marks an escalation in what has so far been only an intelligence war. The Taliban are in a high state of alert for coalition forces waiting to enter their country.
It is rare for Ministry of Defence insiders to confirm that their forces have been involved in skirmishes, but a source close to the SAS said there had been a clash late on Friday.
SAS troopers, together with members of MI6 and the CIA, are working with the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance in the search for Osama Bin Laden, the Saudi-born millionaire believed to have masterminded the suicide hijacker attacks on America 12 days ago in which 6,818 are feared to have died.
They are seeking intelligence about Bin Laden`s whereabouts, the location of mines, routes he might take out of the country and the help of guides for later operations.
Unlike their American counterparts, SAS troopers specialise in long-term operations behind enemy lines, making them ideal for intelligence-gathering missions in Afghanistan.
The soldiers involved in the clash with the Taliban were believed to be from a four-man unit that had crossed the border, possibly from Tajikistan.
The SAS men on the ground are communicating with commanders via RAF Nimrods from the secretive 51 Squadron, using state-of-the-art "squirt" radios to transmit large amounts of data in seconds, helping avoid either interception or pin-pointing by the enemy.
