Retaliations against retaliations against
retaliations....
I just worry about all the people who think this is
the start of a war,
as opposed to one of the few times in US history where
one of their
ongoing wars against other peoples of the world
actually includes a strike
against their own soil.

And the first and only time I know of that rogue
nuclear power used
nuclear weapons against another country.
I do think the following is the best commentary I
have read so far,
although my first reaction was to think exactly of
what this person asks
not to be said:

Please, first, I don't want to hear how America has
reaped what it has
sown...
Please don't let the connection to Pakistan and the
CIA trained Osama
bin Laden, one of most often spoken about potential
scapegoats for this
event, cloud your own feelings. While I worry for my
North American
friends and family as the US may draw us further into
a war, I worry more
for my Indian friends and family as a US strike
against Afganistan (and
possibly Pakistan) will end up drawing India very
quickly into things.
