Kelly:
I totally agree, that would be justice. In my opinion, the US has to do
something, but the question is what? If they attack Afghanistan, then a
lot of innocent people who have already been damaged by war will be killed
or injured, and the US will be seen by the world as the bad guys. If they
do not attack, then they will be considered cowards. It is a case of
"damned if you do, damned if you don't".
This comment comes from a "pacifist". But I also believe in punishment for
wrong-doing, and the attack on the US was definitely wrong.
Just my two-cents.
