QALAYE NIAZI, Afghanistan -- No one can be found to tell this story firsthand. There is disagreement from those who live nearby about the details of the bombing.
But what is clear is that where a small village once stood in the arid plains of east-central Afghanistan, there is little left but torn clothing, piles of brick, pieces of human flesh and hair, and a substantial stockpile of small-arms ammunition.

You are a second generation Hungarian?
Pretty obvious I am not native, isn't it? Nem konnyu megtanulni a nyelv. Actually, I spent most of the 1990s living there. An exile from Clinton's Amerika. Not much to come back to, though.
Sorry for the crudeness of my original comment. Grandfather taught me that colorful phrase.

In my estimate that many people disagrees with killing civilians in any war by military personnel no matter how dumb excuses they might come up with. In my estimate many people disagrees with maniac terrorist killing thousands of civilians working in Twin Towers in New York and in Pentagon, and flying in plane over Washington, no matter how dumb excuses they may come up with.

In my estimate slowness of site and not ability to stop post cause duo of posts and mistakings.

If you think that the best way to stop people flying into tall buildings and military offices in the USA is to kill civilians two continents away then the rest of the world should get worried.
Be completly honest with yourself... Now the US army destroyed a complete country of some 26 million people, killed thousands of its civilians, made impossible the aid packages to get to other 7 millions, the leaders of the terrorists are disappeared, destabilised Pakistan, pushed into a nuclear war with India... and so on ....
DO YOU FEEL SAFER ?

Even the civilians in a nation are responsible for the governments they elect and/or tolerate (including the good ol' USA).

I'm with you! You know the worst thing we did, too? When we moved those World Trade Center buildings right in the way of those nice Islamic pilots. How evil we are!

How big lebensraum you actually need ?America is so evil! Why, in 1941, we even put all of our battleships and destroyers right in the way of all those nice Japanese bombs! Man, we are the worst!

Or it is politically incorrect asking about the victims of US bombings in AfghanistanIt should never be in error to question the bombings of the innocent. This is a discussion board and it's called Free Republic, welcome!

DO YOU FEEL SAFER ?You and I think exactly alike! We should have given Al Qaeda massive cash infusions for their good work, and encouraged the Taliban government to harbor these freedom-fighters! And New York City should have thrown a tickertape parade for the hero Osama Bin Ladin, for all the suffering he endured by losing those nice young Arab pilots who we killed by putting those buildings up right where we knew they would fly!
America is just so evil, we should so totally just sit around and nuke ourselves! You are so right on, man! Count me in!

I would suspect that in the light that the WTC could house about 80.000 people when it is full, you were dancing out of joy because the number of 3000 innocent casualties is incredibly, unbelievebly luckily low compared to what it could had been...Yes, we danced out of joy for the deaths of these evil New Yorkers, only we wept because we wished there were so many more casualties, especially infants, who are the most evil of all possible Americans! The younger they are, the more corrupt and Satanic they are!
Let's form a Death to America club! You and me man!

If only your marines were bloodthursty....Didn't you know? Our marines slaughter newborn children and drink their blood for dinner every day. That is just part of the Satanic Rituals Americans do every day.
Hating America is SO COOOOOOL!!!

How big lebensraum you actually need ?You might have more luck getting people to take you seriously if you'd check the hyperbole & rabid anti-American bias at the door. You haven't exactly demonstrated a real willingness for rational debate.
How about giving us your idea of the appropriate US response to the WTC attack?
