Richard I did not compare patriotism with the Nazis (we - for god sake do not have had them at the beginning of WWW I - But blind patriotism could lead to that. I hate that NAZI - bastards too, belive me. Some 20 of my family died in Conentration Camps others were scattered over the world to flee Germany in the mid 30ies.
What I hate is those kind of stupid redneck ass.... which are to blind toe see the truth and believe all what the mass medias offer them withour a doubt. We have a lot of those over here too (as I said, a certain amount of as... is everywhere) It is now the time to keep cool(not easy I knew) and make the right decicions. That what is decided within the next days will have an effect on the whole world for years.
If there is 100 % shure that bi Laden is one guilty persons get that bastard. As i said in another post you cannot theaten Afghanistan becaus ethete is nearly nothing left to destroy after 20 years of war (There was even hardly something to destroy before that war).
