Hi Gustave, why don't you go to CNN and pull up archives related to the 9/11 attacks. I'm sure you'll find horror stories as bad as in the article you just posted. Who committed those attacks, I wonder? Well, the world seems to think it was Middle Eastern terrorists, and any sane person would agree with them, based on the copious evidence. Violence begets violence. Afghanistan is a stark reminder of that. Before you judge the U.S., maybe you should tell your Islamic friends that when you prick a giant with a needle with the intent to kill, you'd better be damn sure you're ready for the consequences. I don't condone all the back and forth killing and I wish it would stop right now. However, the U.S. is not the only party at fault here. The madmen in the Middle East are also to blame. The biggest cinder block for the start of WWIII has been laid at the feet of the Indians and Pakistanis by the Islamic militant groups in Kashmir. They are deliberately provoking India into an all out conflagaration. Is it really worth it? Who gives a flying f___ who owns Kashmir? If I lived there, I'd rather live under India's democratic and free rule than have to deal with constant warfare. What a big joke these Islamic terrorist groups are. They commit atrocities in the name of a religion, the peaceful folks of that religion get a bad name, and in the long run they are destroying their own cause. I am all for self-determination in Kashmir, but I guarantee you what those Islamic terrorists are doing right now is locking the door shut on that possibility for decades to come. The U.S. and all other Western countries are standing more firm behind India with every attack by those Islamic terrorists. However, I don't think their real aim is to get Kashmir back for the Muslims. Really, I think Al Qaeda and all their affiliates including the two main groups in Kashmir have a more sinister purpose, which is precisely to provoke an all out war between the world and the Arab/Muslim countries. I hope they aren't successful.
