"We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them." - President George Bush.
<FONT COLOR="limegreen">
I can't say I much liked Bush before but that statement has made me rethink my opinions of him.
I know that I do not pay attention to news and world affairs. period. As I have gotten older the news has interested me more and more. but i doubt i will ever truely 'love' it the way some ppl do. Events such as the ones experienced in the last 24-48 hours do make me sit up and take notice.
I also know many of you feel that as a country we had this coming. Maybe we did, maybe we didn't, as i said i dont pay much attention.
But Bush's determined statement that not only will the terrorists be found and dealt with but whatever country and/or group which is harboring them as well.
I think this is exactly the type of action that needed to be taken. He made it clear and calm statement that thorough investigation would be conducted .. which in my mind means he wont be making any rash actions, but at the same time very little mercy would be given to those responsible or anyone protecting them.
And honestly i think thats exactly what we all need. wether the united state as a country deserved it is irrevelent. attacking innocent citizens in order to make a political statement is wrong and cowardly. and those responsible should be found and punished accordingly (death if you ask me). but i no means support a rash attack of groups and cultures as a whole without any solid proof.
never thought i'd say this but im impressed with bush's actions in this time of great tragety.
