Maybe the citizens of nations considered hostile by the US should stand up and realize as long as they support leadership viewed by the US as hostile they are endagering their lives and their families lives. Due to the events in NYC and DC this week THOUSANDS of innocents on both sides will die. It is only a matter of time. Perhaps it is time for other arab states to stand up against leadership such as the Taliban, who are known to harbour terrorists. The US's history speaks for itself. Tens of thousands of innocent Japanese dies after pearl Harbour do you think we will respond any differently this time? Sad isn't it? Whats this got to with Linux anyhow... Peace 0ut and God Bless America!

However, from looking at the posts in places like MandrakeForum.com, it seems as there is a vocal minority who are convinced that the answer to the problem is to bomb the entire Middle East and kill all the Arabs. That is scary, and IMHO these people are even worse than the terrorists. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan. "There are two major products that come from Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
