I disagree. People hate us because we are successful. (microsoft comes to mind) I think that when the individuals responsible are determined that if they are in a country such as Afghanistan that would harbor and protect them then they the whole of Afghanistan "Deserves" whatever happens to them. Todays occurences are exactly why the USA has to be involved in every happening throughout the world. If you claim that the US is the only country who selectively chooses what they are involved in then you are blind to the workings of the world. >I am doing a major in Government and International Relations as part of my >university degree (along with Information Systems).

(not fact but conceivable) These people had no concern for anything or anyone. Few if any of the victims of this really have anything to do with the way the US supposedly polices the world. My thoughts are that the US needs to obliterate a few countries to get the point across that we will not tolerate this type behavior against ourselves or our allies.
