Ehm...I am sorry to say mine has bombed and displaced millions of Afghans and that left them in the cold (literally) perhaps you should have checked my profile before asking. BTW, my brother narrowly escaped serious injury on 9/11 and I lost a ski buddy to it. I was also involved in the first 3 days with the aid process. I tell you what...I see no reason that what we are doing now is any different that what we have always done, but there is a way to convince me otherwise. First I need to hear Bush say that past support of Saddam on grounds of "National Interest" has been wrong and that we are committed to behaving on principle rather than out of selfishness. Then I should see some measure to punish those who sold WMD to Saddam in the first place and hold them responsible for their actions. Then I will happily fallow Bush into hell if he wants me too.

Giggle. <. It is our nation at risk, evidently not yours. Consensus building collectivist cultures cannot understand that we do not need everyones support to act. You cheapen your response with your idiotic comments about Afghani's wanting the Taliban back in Afghanistan. How much has your country contributed to support the Afghani's? > You have to admit that Americans are fair game for the world to make jokes about with Americans talking to each other like that. That was so funny. Do any of the other Americans reading this get the joke or is it just we aliens who see the funny side? Actually, a couple of funny sides. The USA isn't a consensus society? But everyone has to agree or they obviously aren't Americans? Consensus societies are collectivist? What's democracy about if not forming consensus among the majority instead of rule of THE BIG BOSS who needs no consensus? Life is definitely a giggle. I won't mention apostrophe's. Mqurice
