Bullshit.  I'm a peace-loving person, as well, but these bastards have
murdered thousands of US and other countries' citizens.  I hope that we
bomb the terrorists and anyone who aided them back into the stone age.

You are one sick person.  How dare you make a statement like this?  I bet
a rapist's defense attorney would LOVE to have you on the jury.  We are
not to blame here - these scum are to blame.  If we are guilty of
anything, it is of being open and allowing lots of personal freedom.
Maybe because we as a country are good, we expect that from others, and we
let our gaurd down.

Statements like this make me sick.  We should react - quickly, violently,
and with no mercy whatsoever.  We are the strongest nation in the world,
but we have been entirely too kind and forgiving as regards to terrorists.
That must stop.  Potential terrorists should believe that anyone, anywhere
is safe from these acts, because these acts will bring down punishment too
terrible to imagine.

While I totally disagree with your opinion, I staunchly support your right
to express it.  I think you would not find that under the Taliban, and
others of their ilk.
