After the WTC bombing, CNN broadcast the results of a poll in which 4
out of 5 Americans polled approved of retaliation even if innocent
people were killed during the coarse of it.

This is not a good thing.

While America the country has ignored terrorism and the death of
innocents in countries that we don't find helpful or useful, I think
there is a strong majority of American citizens who do not want to
cause further harm to any innocent person, regardless of nationality,
religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Perhaps we should search for justice and leave vengence up to our
Goddess or God of choice.


: Innocents for innocents is not the way to go about it. We must find

Laden.
: That would not be a solution. Senseless slaughter is not the way to
: get anywhere but backwards.
