It could very well have been aimed at US interests. I don't know. It's a horrible thing, regardless of who it was aimed at.



I hope you're wrong when you say it's impossible to ever stop this sort of thing. I do know (as Bush has repeatedly said) this is NOT something that can be fixed in a day, a week, a month, or even a year. It's a VERY long-term struggle that may well take an entire generation to overcome.



Unfortunately, we in the western world, live in an age of "instant everything." Microwaves, running hot water, dishwashers and next-day mail. We're deluged with TV shows where every week's problems are completely resolved in 30 or 60 minutes. We're no longer culturally prepared to deal with a long term struggle.



I just know that if there was a fire in my house, I'd look at what started it, rather than just putting it out. By doing so, I can avoid further fires. Rather simplistic I know, but you get my meaning.



Ummmm...well, in this case, the guy who started that fire died in it. So now what do you do? You look for the guy who sent him in! What the heck do you think we're trying to do? We decimated (but unfortunately have not yet decapitated) Al Qaeda. We took out two entire government regimes. (Afganistan and Iraq) We're working hard to find a way to settle things between Isreal and Palestine. And we're not through trying to get to the foundation of the issue. .....Yeah....I get your meaning. Do you?
