<<Tell me, do you fail to see how the strong military response, with all the collateral damage incidents (real, imagined or totally fabricated), feeds the existing resentment to the US in many places? And how this resentment makes attacks more likely.>>

Ahem....Perhaps we were watching a different war. What I saw were Afghani civilian crowds cheering the American military response. No I think that attacks against America 's homeland are less likely.

<< guess to people who divide the world into good guys and bad guys, military action or doing nothing appear might appear to be the range of available options. >>

<sigh>.. In the real world we know that there are good guys and bad guys..Once again you only hint of other choices but offer none. If there was another choice ...Please enlighten me I'm patiently waiting.

What you say seems intuitively true - but only to reasonable people.

What aspect of Australian foreign policy or military action resulting in collateral damage would you blame for causing so many Australians to get blown up in Bali?

I am disgusted with many aspects of US foreign policy, but that is a separate matter, not the root cause of Al Quaida's campaign.
