So 3000 Americans being killed in a Terrorist attack is "no reason to be fighting?" America was ATTACKED on its soil, an unprovoked, unwarranted ATTACK that left over 3000 of OUR citizens dead and we should just say "well okay then..."
So we are a "Bully" for wanting to make sure what happened in New York never happens again? Not only to our country but so no other country has to feel this kind of pain again? America didn't start this, we were ATTACKED without cause, an unprovoked, unwarranted attack. A diversion? I really take offense at that comment, its not a diversion, its an action being taken again IMHO so no other country (least of all my own) will ever have to bury 3000+ of its citizens due to some Middle Eastern fanatics who go around killing "just because."

Sorry, and President Bush is not a MORON. At least he has the GUTS to stand up to Saddam Hussein and the other terrorists, something his predecessor never ever did, which is WHY IMHO the attacks have continued, because the previous administration never did a D*** thing about the attacks on our Embassy, the Cole, the World Trade Center, and so on and so on. Saddam Hussein has invaded Kuwait before and has inflicted great terror and harm on the region. He and Bin Laden are probably partners in terror, and the thought of Iraq having Nuclear Weapons, well I shudder to think about it. Do I agree with everything the President does? No, but I support him, and really hope that he can help put an end to terrorism.

America DOES not go and invade or attack countries without reason, and I'm sorry, I think killing 3000+ of our citizens is reason, we didn't start this, but its time to end it, so hopefully NO OTHER countries (including Canada ) will ever be faced with the kind of pain & suffering of an unprovoked terrorist attack. If this happened again to another country, they'd be looking to the good ole US for help, just like everyone else does. Bash us, take our money for humantarian aid, rely on our military to help solve world crisis, take our food, but then bash us in the meantime. But heaven forbid that someone else gets attacked, for then the US would get bashed for "not doing anything."

I am truly sorry for the Canadian soldiers who lost there lives due to the Friendly Fire accident. It was a terrible terrible accident, and my heart goes out to the victims families, as it shouldn't of happened. But in times of crisis, military action, things like this do happen. It's not an excuse, nor should it be used as one, unfortunately there is no way to take back what happened, and there are several Canadian mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, spouses, who will have to be reminded of that through the loss of their loved ones. I am truly sorry for their loss....

Tracy, I am sorry about this. I don't like getting into political discussions, but this really has gotten to me. If you feel the need, please delete this message, but then I hope you will also delete the one above it.
