I don't think the rest of the world perceives America/Australia as evil (besides the countries that support this terrorism, obviously), but I think every country and its people has the right to decide where they stand and whether or not they want to contribute. Regardless if you're pro-war or pro-peace or whatever, I think we can all feel badly for any people losing their lives in such a senseless way.

I'm just trying not to politicise this thread too terribly much !

I know that there are many Americans who will seek out coverage and read about things more often or more frequently like you Logan, but there are others out there who haven't even heard about this. That's just not okay with me.
