Jeff Davis, who has views similar to yours regarding Afghanistan, implied that even economic sanctions was being too mean to Iraq when it invaded Kuwait in 1990; so would a severe tongue lashing to Afghanistan after 911 have been OK, or would that still be too mean by causing needless emotional trauma to the poor leaders of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda? <br>

I am devastated that Fred C Moultin is getting really annoyed just as I was devastated that Jeff Davis is pissed off at me. I'm doubly cursed and my grief knows no bounds. <br>
