I'm not saying that. Someone did do it, and they said they're going to do it again, so it's reasonable to go beat them up or something. Remember Afghanistan? I guess it's reasonable to invade that, because if we didn't, the Taliban would just continue housing them, and al-Qaeda would run about free. In fact, there are still
forces in Afghanistan, dying to keep it free of them.
Now, when people say that we should hate France for some reason, or that Iraq has something to do with the WTC towers falling down, that's when I kind of get annoyed. You can hate France (say, because you hate Champagne), and you can think Iraq was a great place to invade (say, because they have oil), but to champion these causes with buildings falling down is ridiculous.
Cap'n, it was around 9:00, IIRC; I forget exactly when classes started, but it was near the beginning of the first period. [/digression]
