:-) Yes, and so do I, but let's be frank on this one. George W. Bush is 
perhaps not exactly the state leader one would think of as being the 
most intelligent person in the world. However, this fact might also 
have its benifits. Having this kind of indecisive leadership might cool 
down some of the extremists on the other side, who simply wish to wipe 
out every living creature in Afghanistan.

To be honest with you, at the beginning I feared that Mr. Bush would 
promptly start such actions, but this has not happened. Fortunately!

Naive, as it can seem, I am still convienced that terrorism and evil 
can only be stopped by knowledge, caring, love, education and freedom 
and many more. Values which are essential to the world we live in.

We can but only spread that message IMO. Bombing has never ever made 
anyone happy!

I watched it live when the second tower crashed, I was so furious, 
shortly afterwards, I went down partly dizzy for cigs at my local shop 
who happens to be own by an Iraqi who commented on the situation that 
"this must have been expensive" (refering to the WTC itself). His 
Danish isn't perfect, but I was just about to get really pissed off, 
because that was not really the issue. Who cares what it costs in terms 
of money anyway?!

For a fragment of a second (although being pure socialist/"liberal") I 
hated every foreign, but immediately realised that this is NOT the way 
to treat things.

Well, those were my 5 øre on this.

...something I've realised, Europe and America have become a bit closer 
during these troubled times. And that I like :-)
