And we have not been attacked by a foreign country. We were justified
and correct in declaring war against Japan because they attacked us.
That was a war with a known enemy.
We have not been attacked by a foreign country. We have not been
attacked by a religion. We have been attacked by a group of at least
30-50 terrorists. Is an Afghani behind it? Maybe. Maybe not. When
the Oklahoma City bombing happened everyone 'knew' it was Bin Laden
behind that one too. Oops.
We need to know who to counter against before we blame one third of the
world's population.
How many Afghanis did you see on TV stomping on our flags? All of
them? Or just the ones CNN showed you? Anyone else here old enough to
remember the anti-war rallies of the 60's, where no one did anything
until the TV camera crews had everything set up?
You want to make a difference? Give blood, don't take it.
Be angry. Be mad. Be wary. But be patient. If you are a republican
back your president and wait for him to resolve the situation. If you
are not, wait for Powell and Cheney to.
