America

[Mister Baredog]

Almost at once President Bush declared a war on terror, and soon Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda organisation was being driven out of its sanctuaries in Afghanistan.

I thought that was worth repeating, seriesly.

Not long before the October attacks US warships had fired rounds into Muslim positions, in support of the Christians.

This is certainly in dispute. I read a book by a marine who was there, and he said they were under fire from pretty early on, and that the marines all wondered when they would be able to fire back. The position was quite exposed, however.

Why not start with the Iranians taking American hostages and hokding them for 444 days. Releasing them only when it became clear that Ronald Reagan was going to be president.
