We were at war befor 9/11
Clinton shot a cruise missle at a training camp in Afganestan and then the Cole that Bush did nothing about.....
This is war but its not a war your going to win with war....
WE launched two missles at empty training facilities and buildings that Clinton Ordered. However, we were not engaged in any sort of major warfare such as Iraq and Afghanistan. This was Nemo lover's implication because the English joined us in these two declarations of war and were physically involved, this is just a side effect of that. I was pointing out it wasn't a side effect of this. The fact is like Ophiura has stated, this "action" has been going on for decades. There is no single reason for it either. Therefore to immediately place blame for this as a direct result of Britains actions in Iraq or Afdghanistan is preposterous at best.
I have never hated anyone in my life. Truly hated that is. I have disliked, but never hated. I can honestly say I hate the terrorist factions that support, condone, aid, or carry out these attacks. It is a cowards way. It is a blatant targeting of innocent civilians to illicit nothing more than a reaction and hopefully spread mass fear. I believe they screwed up this time. As I said, Britain has been attacked throughout history, and if history proves anything, it tends to just piss the Brits off. I held my moment of silence yesterday, I am saddenned by this action and my thoughts go with those who have lost loved ones through this action.
I trully hope either England or ourselves get Bin Laden's head on a Pike in the near future, but that won't stop this, only cripple these actions and organizations.
