First off, the entire country of Afghanastan is not getting bombed - just the building/area where bin Laden is "supposedly" located... enough of this BS "bombing thousands of innocent people" stuff... UNLIKE terrorists, the USA (as does any other civilized country) acts on intelligence and with rational decision.... Not to mention its not even the USA that is doing the current bombings.... trust me, if it was the USA, they'd let the world know - its not like we could bomb a country responsible for all this high-profile stuff recently, and nobody figure it out?
amit and DJ MG - i realize this is your heritage we are talking about, and your peeps that bombed us (if its not why else would you defend them?), but i still feel you should not be posting here if you have only negative "you guys deserved it" stuff to say... why don't you start a new thread "Rejoicing in the explosions".... and you can have anyone from the West Bank that has internet to post in that thread as well...
My opinion of Afghanastan - if you are going to harbor a KNOWN terrorist that is responsible for 90% of ALL terrorist acts for the last 10 years, and you refuse to give him up, then you are in my opinion DESERVING of a bombing, and at the same time you are putting your entire population at risk..... If my country harbored a known terrorist in the city that i live in, i would leave - duh that i would get bombed.
And i think that everyone is attacking Bush prematurely and for no reason... i know Europeans don't like Bush b/c he killed an animal or took a habitat away (or some other reason that really doesn't affect your lives...) but as far as running this country, he does a damn fine job. keep in mind that the president is not the only decision in running this country or doing something - there is 2 other branches of government, and NOTHING can get done unless all 3 agree.... so enough of the finger pointing... truth be told the country is being run right now no -different than it was 4, 8, or even 12 years ago.

**and Taub, they already know who did it, the question is whether or not bin Laden planned it and if he commissioned it. All fingers point to yes, and US sources in Afghanastan have read reports and have the word on the street - just last week Bin Laden had issued a statement that something big was going to happen soon, and the world could "rejoice"..... if thats not a give-away, i dont know what is.
and PS.... you wonder why people always assume its arabs? because most terrorism comes from that part of the world..... its sad but true.. how do you think stereotypes start? because of fact. More often than not. True, the Oklahoma bombing was an American, but what does that have to do with the other 100 terrorist acts in the last decade in the USA.... most were from these right-wing religious groups in the middle east....
all comments made on this are not directed at "all arabs".... in fact i haven't even really heard any mention of arabs... so stop being all defensive... jesus. its obvious that all hatred and anger posted in this thread is directed at who perpetrated this terrorism.... if it wasn't you, then what are you crying about?
