HISTORY sets the period, not one of us.
Woman being raped? It happens everywhere, even in your country, and not because religious reasons only. There is a big difference between sitting back and an invasion; use your resources in not direct way, because if you go straight ahead like a hurricane, you will torn appart everything in your way, including innocents and the raped woman.

Your government already knows that the Taliban wasn't going to give Bin Laden to USA; instead of the threat, you should have taken him by yourselves. Anyway, what happens (and it did) is that you destroy people who hadn't any idea where he is. Remember a village with 200 population and hundreds of sheeps? Only ashes there, with a sheperd crying over his wife and his five children's body, saying "We don't have Osama". Looks like some torture for that man too, even worst that under the Taliban.
Also, it doesn't look like a properly action of the so-called home of the brave or land of the free; it's a bully's attitude, a payback of the WTC wound, showing the world that still you could kill who you want.

How about the innocents suffering in the USA? First of all, you should take care of your own issues, then help people out of your borders. Unless, of course, you don't have unemployment, AIDS, jails full of people out of the capitalism without any other escape than delinquency, hunger, families on the street, etcetera. Part of your country is dying, but you (I mean your government) choose to help the outsiders. For instance: there are so many factories with US capitals around the world because it's cheaper, with the consequence of unemployment in your country, and the economic opression in the foreign countries, forcing their governments to carry on politics against his own population, just because they deseperately need the investments; also, doesn't allow the local industries to develope by themselves, without the "advantages" given to US capitals (goes for Europeans too).
Besides, how could you let the fate of the world in the hands of people that doesn't know everything about it? I remember a survey between US citizen that shows only 10% of knowledge about other countries; for example, Don King (yes, he's an ass, but with money and power, ang gives an idea) says once "Buenos Aires, yeah, the DC of Rio de Janeiro".
We have a common frase in spanish (excuse me if already has a correct translation) which means "the well-undertand charity begins by home". I suggest you watch carefully the movie Bullworth again, it shows some interesting things (besides, of course, Halle Berry).
