America has started retaliating. I think that it's good that they waited and took their time, instead of being goaded into instant revenge, which i think may have been what the WTC attacks were intended to cause. This would have caused problems with other countries, so it's good the way things are being done. Whether it's right or wrong, accept the fact that the lives of Osama Bin Laden and his followers arn't worth jack shit. The U.S will get them, and i think that it's right, for killing that many innocent civilians. The U.S has bombs that bore holes into the ground to collapse the underground networks of the Afganis, and so much more weaponry.

Below is are a few links you might want to check out with more detailed stories, and also a discription of some of the weapons the U.S. is deploying.
