Except there is one difference:  When we Americans attack a country, they know who it is; we tell them we're coming.  We don't sneak up on them and kill their innocent men, women and children who have done nothing wrong

BIKINI AND WALKS INTO A DARK VALLEY, ISN'T THAT INVITING FOR TROUBLE?    There is no might or might not!  There are no circumstances in which a woman should be at fault for being raped because of the clothes she does (or does not) have on.  Sure, it might not be a wise thing to do, but that doesn't make it her fault.  The fault lies with the aggressor.  Re-read the above article if you fail to understand what I'm trying to say.     One last note, this act of war took place on American soil, but what about the other countries represented by it's citizens there?  Ireland, Russia, Japan, and Britain, among others, had civilians killed.  I guess they were only wearing a biking, and Manhattan was the dark valley, huh? (Notice sarcasm).

feel the same way in the near future. Lets look at some reasons how America was affected by the above statements. 1.) During the second world war Japan was given ample time and warning officially via various ambassadors that unless they surrendered America would drop the bomb. Japanese attrocities were and have been well documented during the second world war - the various prison camps , tortures, railroad building, human experiments on the same lines that Hitlers henchmen undertook. Japan rearly adhered to the convensions of war. When Nagasaki was bombed the Japanese government still would not accept defeat and werre warned yet again.  When the bombs were dropped the effect world-wide was of horror and shock. No civilised country enjoys seeing civilians hurt and most countries did their utmost to prevent this type of casualties. 2.) Vietnam - the anger of the Americans at home to the civilian killings at Mai Lai and other incidents directly caused America pull out of that war and admit defeat. Scenarios like that are burned in the minds of many nations and increase the awareness not to make civilians suffer. 3.) I can't comment on Sudan as I don't know about it maybe you would like to help me ? 4.) Israel and Palestine Have been at each others throats for generations. Where was your anger during the Yom Kippur and 6 day war, where was your anger during the suicide bomb attacks, car bombs etc on non-combatants ?  It is hard to get countries to feel sympathy for others who use these tactics and unfortunately, this tactic has been used by so many terrorist groups from the middle-east, IRA and Red Brigade etc.  Very little simpathy is felt by most civilised countries because of this.  The more carnage they generate with the widest media coverage they can get the better it serves their ideals. All this said - how do we stop the escalation and the rhetoric. How do we stop stereotyping people and nations, who starts first - can we trust each other ?

When someone crashed an airplane into WTC, you are angry. Where were your anger when america bomebed hiroshima and nagasaki killing hundred of thousand of people? ***And ended the war against Japan and saved the lives of thousands of American servicemen!! Bob
