>In response to Sept. 11, your government has killed a far greater number of people in Afghanistan, including children in a series of attacks that could have been avoided. Was this the action of a mean spirited president, or a president acting for the higher purpose of fighting terrorism.

>If you can justify killing of children in Afghanistan for a higher purpose of eliminating terrorism, then you would have to admit to the possibility that God had a higher purpose in allowing the events of Sept. 11.

Note that I do not justify the killing of children for any higher purpose. That said, the issue in Afghanistan is/was not to indiscriminately destroy but to go after terrorists. Sometimes they hide behind innocents.

I do not want to go into the politics of our current president. It has nothing to do with this discussion and I am not interested in the issue. Just remember that this president was not elected by the majority of the people. There were enough messages here on this issue at the time of the election. You can look them up if you want to see them.
