Hi Bob
I agree that we/you must fight terrorism. With all means available that doesn’t
hurt innocent people.
What I don’t want is annother “wholy war” against muslims or the
arab world. In my country – God help us – some parties have already
suggested that all muslims shold be sent “home”! That my friend is also
very, very tragic! The wholy war has already started in some peoples heads! It seems
mr. Bush already has shown a more subtle approach to fighting terrorism, than it
seemed a few days ago. Of cource Nato/we will asssist you as far as we can. But is it
really possible to pinpoint the responsible and punish them and only them?
Regards
Jens
