>>>Not the end of the story because we have to go on living in the world as it is today. Our actions since 9/11 have made it a riskier place overall, rather than a safer place. We have to look not just at whether there have been attacks on US soil, but whether Americans elsewhere have been targeted, whether our friends have been targeted, and at whether there are more or fewer people who want to attack Americans, since we're going to have to keep dealing with those who do.

Thank you. Now we have a chance (i.e. when other replies come) to see if 'left' in Europe differs from 'left' in America.
OTOH, I remember as you said last fall that you firmly support Afghanistan policy. Did you reconsider?
