Just want to echo what Strollin Johnny says, and add, Mr Mc Grath you probably don't sense the anger that grew here in the US after the shock of 9-11.

I heard one old timer say it reminded them of Pearl Harbor, eventhough all the people on the planes as well as the Twin Towers were civilians not military.

Also what were those kids doing in Afghanistan at a time when there were high ranking international officials working to get the UN to do something about the abuse, beatings and murder of mostly women by the Taliban?. I recall several meetings in Europe where Afghan women who had escaped the terror telling their stories. I even seen websites about the shootings and beatings at the time.

It is no surprise, then, to find no women captured by the US in the war! In fact most of the intenational prisioners at Guantanamo are daft young punks with macho tendencies - wannabe polygamists - probably.

Let them go, naw, shoot em in the goolies first then let em go!
