But whatever - we should NOT bomb! We should have sent in ground forces to get him and his followers, maybe, since there would be less liklihood of killing innocents.
And bombing Afghanistan is most likely going to turn practically all the Islamic world against us. Frankly, Ladyzekke, I'm scared. I don't want to live through another world war. I lived through one already. I'm scared for my children and grandchildren. I'm more scared than I have been in my life.

Well at least from what I have heard, they are bombing tonight to make way for ground troops in certain locations. Don't THINK they are gonna bomb constantly. Just taking out Taliban locations that might be a threat when ground troops land. They have said they are making way for ground troops to squirrel out those terrorist hiding out in caves, etc. Guess we will see how that goes.
And I know what you mean, even though I really am behind the U.S. against the terrorists, I just hate the way that we are going about it, and wonder, again, how successful we will be. But again, as I have said many times tonight, what else is there to do???? I too am afraid Fljotsdale. Heck, I live very close to Washington, D.C., prime target there for terrorist retaliation attacks... And I'm not very pleased at our news on TV. Heard too many times about how "it is coming", "we are going to get attacked again". And they make it sound so dire. Hell, if they (the news) are going to warn us, at least frikken bolster our spirits, say something like "America Unite and Be Strong", not "we are gonna get it" type speeches, that only lowers the moral of the American citizens. And we as many all over the world, as citizens, have no power in this, we only can sit by and wait and watch what happens. We at least should be patriotic, or comradic, and stand together for strength.
