Ok let me say this coming from a American soilder that has fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. Either way you look at it, it was a act of terrorism, plane or no plane, missle, big plane little plane. One thing is that once the plane exploded and jet fuel catches fire a allumium and magnesium planes going to burn very hot and probably leave very little behind. I believe everything we have done in the countrys we are in now is justified, yeah its getting alittle drawn out, but the people of that country need to take a stand for the better of man kind and just live in peace and stop the fighting of over more then a 1000 years over religon and stop the madness then we can finally leave.
