I&#39;m not suggesting American casualties shouldn&#39;t be personalized for the American viewer, but an American life is no more important, to me anyway, than an Indian life, or a Swiss life, or a Pakistani life.</p><p>Report the facts that you know, report the discrepancies when they appear, and leave the spin and speculation for another day. But that would be too much like right.</p><p>You see, as with all news stories, it is the <i>initial</i> reports, before all the narratives take root, that provide the biggest clues to what actually happened.</p><p>If these terrorists were really targeting Americans, then why have so few been killed relative to the overall numbers of the reported casualties so far?</p><p>I just watched <i>Charlie Wilson&#39;s War</i> last night for the first time.

Are you really dumb enough to  think that the United States recruited 19 terrorists from Saudi Arabia to kill close to 3,000 of our own citizens?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2. Neither Afghanistan or Iraq are &quot;illegal&quot; wars. You show me something that says that a war of retribution (which is what Afghanistan was, in part) or a war of preemption (which is what Iraq was, in part) are illegal, and I&#039;ll give you the names of no less than half a dozen countries that are guilty of the same (including, most likely, whatever rock you crawled out from under).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3. Islamic extremism existed long before the United States was ever thought of (just like other forms of religious extremism). All you have to do is look at the sects of Islam that will kill fellow believers for not being &quot;Islamic enough.&quot; Read the Koran. Or, if that&#039;s too difficult for you, there&#039;s other books you can read (including some with pictures, so you can follow along).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;4. Apparently, you don&#039;t know anything about America. We&#039;ve survived a economic downturn and an attack on our country before, and emerged as the strongest nation the world has ever seen.  We take our licks like every other country in the world...and we &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;ALWAYS&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; emerge the stronger and better for them. It will take a lot more than your prayers to bring this nation down. Good luck trying though...let me know how that works out for you.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was gonna be a smart ass and &#8220;welcome&#8221; JJP to the War on Terror&#8230;til I saw this.</p><p>Let me explain a couple things to you (and I know no one else here will stand with me on this):</p><p>1.
