Although your statement is the patriotic one, the reason they attacked in the first place is because of the US' foreign policy in the middle east.
And considering the US foreign policy in the Third World, such as most of Latin America (where I'm from), it does amaze me that the US isn't targetted for more attacks than it already is.
In a nutshell: you can't go around doing as you please with other nations' lives and expect to get away with it. The attacks in NYC and Washington where ghastly, I have friends there who luckily are OK, but it's a shame the U.S. Government's reaction will be to go and f*ck up yet another Third World country.
(And call it "collateral damage".)
On a side note: I saw on the TV yesterday a Sikh cabbie in NYC who had been been given hell just because he wears a turban. Sikhs aren't even Muslims, for crying out loud! A good way to begin to end all this is for the people of the US to start taking an interest in the outside world, and learn to respect it.
Bah, they've sent a courier round to pick it up
already... and send it back to the US. Not a
bad little box, actually. 1U, half a rack deep,
dual PIII, and with Apache and qmail preinstalled
with a web GUI you can use to configure everything
from DNS entries to mailboxes to webspace.
