  The crux of the matter is, IMO American pride. I do not think there has ever been such a huge attack actually in their country before - the last comparable one was Pearl Harbour. So they were angry,outraged and wanted to be seen to be doing something quickly, Hence the war. Quite what the UK's excuse was, I don't know - apart from the whole "special relationship" thing. BUT whether we agree with the method of killing or not, the fact is Bin Laden was responsible for a lot of innocent people's deaths too who also would have been unarmed. So I cannot agree with your point Rebecca - Bin Laden really does not deserve sympathy. As for your comments about being allowed to move on from 9/11..... That was a devastating event that should never be forgotten.It isn't something that should ever be swept under the carpet. It is very easy for us, sitting in the comfort of our own homes to theorise or take the moral highground but how would any of us have felt had we lost loved ones on that day or the 7th July in London?

  I agree with you D that it should never be forgotten. Uncomfortable as it may be we need to be reminded how utterly appallingly people behave from time to time.

  The same goes with the holocaust, nuclear bombs in hiroshima and I'm sure, plenty of other atrocities."
