can you really compare an attack on a terrorist training camp to an attack

Yes, I can. They're all people, even if they may be somewhat mis-guided.

Trouble is, Bush seems to be saying he wants to retaliate against anyone who
harbours terrorists. And how do they decide who are the terrorists and who's
helping them? Answer: They make an informed guess. They don't mind if they • make
a few mistakes, thats just "collateral damage". But to the people targetted,
it's murdering innocent people, just like the WTC. And if the US can • retaliate,
why shouldn't they?

Interesting questions and statements Ross. Today's events are certainly very,
very tragic and saddening. The long term effects of these attacks could/will be
devasting.

I hope the U.S. first finds out who did this horrible crime, then makes damn
sure that those people are guilty. From then on, the U.S. can make a decision
on how to punish the accused.

No more unnecessary blood should be spilled. Like you said, mistakes should not
be treated just as "collateral damage".

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families of the victims.
