They're not goin to think whether these ppl are civilians or not are they? Duhhh!!... They came with the intention to seek revenge and punish. Also they came to die. You cant deal with someone who is already dead.

So to expect them not to target Americans is abit naive dont you think? You have to think like they are thinking.

America never shouts "terrorism" when the people dying are Muslims... kashmir, chechnia, palestine, etc... it never moves to try to stop massacres against Muslims. So expect extremism to rise in such areas when ppl feel forgotten, where ppl feel desperate and hopeless.

Deal with the injustice first, then you will see a drop in extremism.

You gota move from this narrow mindedness of "kill them all, bomb them wherever you find them". The solution is as I said elsewhere.

Take a look at the avatar of the poster whom you're addressing. Do you really expect enlightened thinking?
