My statement was in response to your statments saying that "...other countries to be critical of the US action...". implying that they dont know, they havn't been there, they think they are not targeted, etc. terrorist do not only target the USA.

what have 'we' done about it; we got rid of the terrorist attacks - thats what we did about it. now having said that, i am sure there are still some (havn't been in Germany in a while), but the strong/bad 'wave'from back then is gone.
