I realized the US has been attacked for the first time since Pearl Harbour, and Americans are now coping with the trauma.

However, it is just not correct to assume that the rest of the world is not familiar with the pain of meaningless deaths, as caused by the 9/11 incident. Some of us come from countries where malls were blown up, embassies bombed, etc for the better part of our lives. We just had the common sense not to go blanket bombing a country and/or ousting their leader through a military invasion because we suspected their support in the terrorism against us.

Why? Because it is just not human to kill several thousand innocent people of another country, just because a terrorist group has killed several thousand people in your own country. It is not human, it is not honorable, it is not fair, and just serves to show that you are no better than the beasts who, for reasons of their own, killed several thousand innocent people.

This is why no matter what kind of terrorist acts happen in Europe (and do believe that Europe had more than its fair share of terrorist attacks in the past) the public opinion will not be for invading other countries and/or forcibly changing their regimes. Europeans do not favour playing God.
