Wouldn't it be nice if the entire world worked
together to arrest those who are responsible for this
- including any world leaders, if they condone it -
and put them on trial in a world court?
I see no point in bombing the crap out of regular Joes
throughout the world just to get back at those few
maniacs who do and condone these kinds of deeds - this
is the very act that disgusts us all that just
happened in the USA. While I am really, really
tempted in a case like this to say, "Go ahead! Bomb
the bastards!" I realize that the average person in
any of those countries ruled by fundamentalist
fanatics is just here to live their life, to do their
job, to love their family. We have no quarrel with
the regular working people, and if they have any with
"us", it's only because their media is so controlled
that they don't see the regular people just living
their lives - they see "us" as evil. And, let's face
it - there are many among "us" who see "them" the same
way.
