I'm not sure where to begin on this, but I can tell you that America is not a bully. America was the victim of a series of terrorist attacks. We are simply returning the favor to these people who would destroy us.

Now with that said, Did you lose any friends in the terrorist attack? Did you lose any family? Did your 401K take a hit because the economy took a dive? Did you lose your job because of the attack? Did you lose any sleep over what happened?

Now, with those questions asked, how is it that we as Americans are bullying these people? Our President wanted to end this with the apprehension and extradition of one man. We asked for Osama Bin Laden to be handed over. What happened? Did they hand him over, NO. Did our country go off half cocked? No. Had this been the Russians or the Chinese being victim of such an attack, they would have turned that sandbox into a parking lot.

The worst part about being a veteran, is having to listen to people who think America is always the bad guy. Well, I like a lot of other people don't particularly like what our government is about, but sometimes they get it right. Sometimes our government does the right things for us, like wipe out our enemies, big or small. It's because of the people who are over there fighting that you even have the right to criticize them.

Of course you would probably be better suited to live in China, Russia, or Somalia, as you seem to have the impression that those peoples are better than we are. I also get the impression that you would prefer us all to lie according to our means and needs, as opposed to our wants and desires?

I'm a capitalist, republican, taxpayer, self-employed artist and manufacturer, and college graduate. I'm also a veteran, and I didn't get as far in life as I have by settling for less, working less, aspiring to be less, or took crap from people who told me I was a bad person. America is a reflection of it's people. I'm an American, and I'd like to think that there are a hell of a lot more of us out here, than people like you. At least, that's what I pray for.

America is fighting a war over ideologies, and terrorism. We aren't picking on a little country, we're getting what we wanted in the first place. The only difference is that these people won't give us the man responsible. You also know very well that we will rebuild them. We will help them rebuild, as we have in the past with other countries we've bombed the hell out of. The people who will benefit from this the most, is going to be the Afghan people, as they will see their country rebuilt, and their people being able to have what they want, which is freedom.

I like a lot of other people am sick of Anti-American sentiments, considering the losses we've taken, all because some wacko hates America. We have enough of those kinds of people within our borders.
