"the tyrannical Taliban regime"

Let's not forget that the Taliban were regarded as freedom fighters by America when Russia invaded Afghanistan in 1976. Now that America has invaded Afghanistan, suddenly the Taliban are terrorists.

"In Iraq, many more Muslims are being killed by Muslims than by coalition troops."

It is true that thanks to the American invasion of Iraq it has now triggered a civil war in Iraq. But Americans have already murdered over 100,000 Iraqis, and this doesn't count the Iraqis murdered by Bush senior. Not to mention the destruction of a beautiful nation.

"In Lebanon and Palestine, Hamas and Hezbollah hide behind women and children "

This is very funny. Are you trying to justify the murder of women and children by saying that terrorists were hiding behind them. Were there any terrorists hiding behind the women and children in Qana?

"take responsibility for the actions of your kin."

I think it's time that the so called "democracies" take responsability for their own terrorism and atrocities.
