The only reason I can see for bombing Afghanistan is to release the turgid tides of pent up testosterone circulating within the male military mind. It has nothing to do with creating a sustainable peace. It has little or no legality, no morality and no more justice than your average inflamed lynch mob. It does not work to make people secure anymore than police sponsored drive-by shootings in supposed "high crime areas" would make you secure. These are bullying tactics only that will hurt those who are already hurt but leave those responsible unharmed and with less resistance within their own country. If they stop the bombing it won't be soon enough for those who have already suffered because of it, their lives are as important as any of the lives lost in the WTC and the Pentagon.
