But cfallon the Taliban are not gone; they are still very active in
Afghanistan; Osama bin Laden is not gone; and as far as we know; neither is Saddam. The terrorist attacks you mentioned plus the Oklahama one you missed all occurred from within the USA. Even most of the terrorist that attacked the World Trade Center were legally within the USA. Most except the world trade center were American citizens. I believed the USA had a right to hunt down the terrorist leaders of the terrorist attack on the WTC; I just wished they had remained in Afghanistan and completed the job before turning their attentions elsewhere.
I believe they should take a good look at some of their government policies to see where the anger from within and outside is coming from. America seems to have many angry unrational people. I am thinking of the numerous attacks within their schools. While Canada is not immune to such people; we do not seem to have as much here as in the USA.
As far as Israel and Palestine goes; I believe it goes both ways. There is fear and anger on both sides with innocent family members being killed.
I believe the heavy favoritism the USA has shown Israel is somewhat responsible for the hatred and mistrust of the USA in Arab and Muslim countries.
Hopefully this will be settled soon then perhaps these middle eastern countries will get on with running their own countries more amicably.
I realize there are many views and probably a lot of validity on both sides. It was nice wrangling with you; you are one of the contributors that made me work.
