The Logic Off Topic list

Ga Moore is absolutely right about all this, you know. I have researched a
lot of 20th century millitary history and would absolutely not say the US
was so bad in its foreign Policy. They might make mistakes, but who doesnt??

It also strikes ne as being extremely distasteful at this time to be saying
"sorry about what happened, BUT US policy etc..." A lot of Americans are
upset and  simply do not need this kind of distasteful crap at the moment.

there is nothing the US has done to deserve the terrible events that
occurred on the 11th of September.

There is also a lot of anti US propaganda, dont believe it all, the truth is
there are far, far worse regimes in the world than the USA and infinitely
worse and more evil leaders than Bush.

Considering what actually happened on that awful day, I think the Americans
have been remarkably restrained in their response so far, and in their
words.

As a Briton, I hope that my country gives all the support we can to our
American friends.

John.
