Hello. I am truly sorry for the suffering that your country, and its
citizens, are having to endure. I am sure that there are a lot of innocent
people that the Taliban are hiding behind who become the unfortunate victims
of our bombings, but I can assure you that it is not the wish of any American
to inflict injuries on any of your people other than those who are
responsible for the attacks on the United States on September 11. I make no
apology for our response and, in fact, wish we would be even more relentless
and more aggressive in our quest to annihilate Mr. Bin Ladin and the Taliban.
They are hate-filled, vicious and evil and serve no useful purpose in a
civilized world. It is difficult to feel too much sympathy at the moment
because the attacks on the WTC, our Pentagon, the anthrax contaminations,
etc. are still very fresh in our minds. This is a war. Have people
forgotten that America has suffered civilian casualties? Five to six
thousand of them? Or that we did not iniate this conflict?
I wish I could help you as you are called to help those among your
countrymen who are injured in this war. My heart is pained at the thought of
people who are very unexpectedly incapacitated by pain and injury. Many will
never lead normal lives again. Let's both hope for an early end to the
hostilities. Until then , I wish you well. Stay safe.

Before we all go berserk and trash this poor guy, read his Email below dated
9/13. I don't think he means any harm and doesn't realize how his views
will be taken, especially due to his limited understanding of the English
language. Sounds like he has disdain for all civilian casualties.

Although I do not agree with this Listserve being used as a forum for this
type of back and forth political bantering, as a proud American and one who
has a nephew involved in a special operations unit in Operation Enduring
Freedom, I was really disturbed with his/her dissertation on the many
casualties of this war in Afghanistan.
I particularly take exception to his/her statements on how this war is
different than the two old ones they've experienced and indicates it's due
to:
1. heavy bombardment on the civilian
2. using more sophisticated war weapons
3. still the target is innocent people
This person obviously sees the US war on terrorism through much different
eyes, but is still badly mistaken. The US has made our position clear over
and over, innocent civilians are not targets and we have not been bombing
civilian areas. Have there been a few inadvertant strikes and caused
civilian deaths and injuries, of course. We don't deny that. Weapons
misfire, coordinates can be entered incorrectly and loss of civilian lives
can result. We have apologized for that. But they are not our target. We
all know how differently this war would be fought if they were.
I, for one, feel this is a form of propaganda and I don't think it shoud be
tolerated on this Listserve.

It certainly is too bad that in this present world system innocent people
of many nationalities and religions who are just ordinary people trying to
go about their business and lead peaceful lives are the most frequent
victims of war and conflict
