important thing you have done in your life. This is not new. Many people in
different situations have come to know this. Life is a bitch.

Afghanistan has helped the people back in the US? As I see it, all this is
happening because of a particular worldview which says that US should get
the money (oil, markets, etc) and be the boss. When someone makes a brave
decision to face the consequences of this particular worldview, why should
the other people who hold a different worldview be grateful and pay the
price?

people are always responsible for their actions, today big politics are
driven by a new kind of quasi-sentient entity called The Corporation.
Corporations are supposed to be led by (disposable) human management, but
they have their own survival traits, will, goals and pleasures, they do not
need to breath air (only indirectly), and their dream society is the Global
Free Market. The election of an intellectually lacking person such as Bush
as the President of the US seems to be a preparation for some actions which
could not be supported by rational arguments as far as humans are concerned.
