<<SO do you think we also should repay them for the losses of their loved ones?>> Sure. After the 3000 people killed in our country are paid for the unprovoked attack. <<The people of Afghanistan had little to do with the WTC.>> That may be but you and I had NOTHING to do with it and yet WE have to pay the bill. <<They can barely pay for their own basic needs. Their largest cash crop is opium. The people there have nothing to give and didn't have anything before the WTC collapsed.>> Just because they have nothing doesn't give their country the right to destroy property and kill our citizens. If killing people because they had more money was ok I would have to kill all my neighbors <g> Actually some of them deserve it but thats not the point LOL!! My Real point in this post is to make sure that we don't hold our own people and country accountable to a level that we don't hold others to. I don't think we should so quickly discount the deaths of our citizens. Just because most or all of the people killed in the WTC attacks had money or luxuries than the Afghan people doesn't mean their lives valued less. It seems to me that people opposed to that action and the current war are more concerned with the death of innocent people in Afghanistan and Iraq than they are with the death of innocent people that took place in the U.S. on 9/11.
