I am relieved to find someone out there who is viewing this situation with a bit of balance. I think that one of the hurtles that we have to face in this country is ignorance. People are making rash judgements without obtaining all the facts. This is directly related to the protest-culture that has been so cultivated in our generation since childhood.
A few facts for those who have been thinking we somehow deserve this:
The United States donated more in food, money and medical supplies to Afghanistan than any other nation in the world up until September 11, 2001.
Osama bin Laden is NOT a starving refugee.
His terrorist network is WORLD WIDE. This means that this is only the beginning. The United States was only the starting point.
I am not prepared to give up my rights and ask Big, Bad, Brother to protect me, but I am not going to say that my government is the enemy here!
