I dont feel terrorized, Gnats. In fact I'm in the process of cooking two steaks as we speak, one for me and one for the dog. That's what we Americans do, Gnats, cook steaks for our dogs.

Let's hope it ain't in Sydney, then...🙄
I walk the streets of Sydney wearing a T-shirt that says "George Bush and John Howard are liars, war mongers and threats to our security".
By the way, you seem to forget that Australia already lost people in the Bali bombings - the result of anti-western sentiment initiated by the likes of Bush.

You disappoint me Shav. I don't even laugh when I see terrorists killed. "laughing when the plane hit the buliding"?....giggling while 3,000 civilians died a horrible death, some jumping from the buildings. And, yes, I read your second post, but to even print this is pretty lame...I could laugh at the ridicoulous number of deaths annually in mecc ...[text shortened]... and offer my prayers to them, but since I know where you are coming from, I forgive you......
I do laugh when I hear of the crushing crowds at Mecca. But then again, I laughed heartily when I was being bombed myself (by the Hezbollah, funnily enough). I'm not a hypocrite. I just appreciate a good sense of drama and people's behaviour in ugly situations.
I also appreciate irony.

Have you missed the point? They weren't harbouring terrorists. And it WAS a foreign country. The US had no right to be there anyway.
Originally posted by Rajk999Are you saying that the US have the right to go into any country they like at any time, using only the excuse of 'war on terror'? Who decides when they should go in? GWB? What right does he have to bomb Pakistan? Who next? India?

There are means and ways of dealing with international problems like this. For example Interpol, or even (and this is a wild suggestion, I know) asking the governments permission to track terrorists over their borders.
Originally posted by Rajk999That's exactly what America does itself.

War is organised terrorism. The invasion of Iraq was terrorism.
America now has Homeland Security. It does its deeds and then retreats to its safe haven.
