This does not justify killing innocent people. In fact there's no justify for killing innocent at all.
Suppose Bush will trace down the country where that terrorist group resides (it it was not just one suicidal group of crazy
people). Does it mean that you will have to declare war to that country? Why should innocent people of that country pay by
their life just because their stupid government hosted the terrorist group?
I agree that the terrorist people who commited this act of barbarian brutality should be punished and in a way that will be
remembered. But not at the cost of innocent human lifes. World already lost enough of it yesterday...
But I totally disagree with Bush (and Tony Blair) saying that they will punish any country/government that hosted the
terrorists. This stupidity could easily result in a World War III. And in case you don't realise the picture - this means
Apocalypse.
My deepest sorrow is for all victims of this and my deepest sympathy is to their families.
