this is racist and backward. you are implying that every muslim in the world was involved in the destruction of your pretty towers. don't you care about justice? don't you want to hold the actual perpetrators of the september 2001 tragedy to account, rather than blindly taking 'revenge' against a race or a country that you perceive needs to be taught a lesson?
how come your country doesn't give two hoots when other innocents are slaughtered? china has been illegally occupying nepal for decades, and all you can say is you don't like china?
it's this sort of attitude that america must grow out of now it has big man's guns.
choas, i am sure you are not as simplistic as i imply, so do not take it personally, but i bet a lot of other people really are this racist and backward.
also, i must mention, void main, don't take what i am about to say personally since you, and i am sure many others like you, have a well considered attitude towards foreign policy even if i don't happen to agree with you 100% on it (and why should we agree? we are essentially bound to disagree, since we come from different countries!). That aside i honestly think that there are too many americans (and too many with their fingers on the button i bet) who think it's their god given right to blow parts of the world up until the whole planet is one big united states of america (or one big 'ex-weapons-of-mass-destruction factory', whichever comes first). If Asimov or Heinlein had written what is happening now in the world in a novel 50 years ago, it would have rightly been thought of as tragic science fiction.
