99% of people who post on this forum do have a concept. In Afghanistan, men are being tortured, hung, and skinned alive, women are being executed in a football stadium at point blank range, 1 in 4 children die by age 5. All in the name of some whacked out fundamentalist religious zealot and his band of satanical gouls. Evil is to good for these monsters. This is the devil himself.Ordinary people were at an extraordinary building. The terrorists did not attack a small town or city, or a McDonalds or a Blockbuster. The WTC and Pentagon were attacked because they represent capitalism (and possibly the White House and Capital), and the guarntee of high exposure. Similar to anthrax, news readers and congress will have a better chance of making international headlines than me. If we were not at war with these terrorists, if we did not retaliate, if we gave in to the peaceniks, if Gore was in charge, then we would have big problem. And I thank God every day that George W. Bush is our leader.
We all have seen the pictures of people hanging out of the WTC, the images of ground zero. It's appalling, the death and destruction, but we need to destroy the b@stards and their regimes, those who committed these crimes, they will be eliminated.
I do understand, more than you will ever know.
I would highly recommend all Americans watch "Beneath the Veil" on CNN. It is something you will never forget. It will be engraved in my mind forever. It is an experience similar to the first time you learned about what Hitler and Stalin did to humans in WWII. But, fair warning, it is very graphic and very disturbing.
President Bush refers the taliban as evil, I believe he was being kind. The taliban are devils, straight from he!!. You will never be able to forget. This is what we are fighting for, to keep our freedom and our liberty.

Beneath the Veil, Women in Afghanistan, click on 'story'
Here is the beginning text from the web site:
Ever since the Taliban took control of most of Afghanistan in 1996, the group has imposed its harsh version of Islamic law on the country. In "Beneath the Veil," journalist Saira Shah traveled to Afghanistan to see the effects of the Taliban's rule on her father's homeland.She discovered public executions, allegations of human rights violations like massacres and torture, and a place where women are forced to beg because they are prevented from working. But she also found that the first voices of protest come from the most repressed, including an opposition group that uses hidden cameras to film the executions.
