Looks like we need to keep our camps in Guantanamo Bay open indefinitely

You have already heard that there are other nations involved in the war in Afghanistan as well?

By the way it was the German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder (no, my nick has nothing to do with him) who called this not an attack on the US alone but an attack on NATO (why would he do that if we all hate you?). The attack was a shock for Europe too!

If I've learned anything in recent times it's to make sure to do the OPPOSITE of what the "Ruins of Europe" tell us to. They talk about what a horrible country the US is, and then they expect us to follow their advice when dealing with terrorists? It makes no sense. You don't seek advice from those who wish you ill.

Who is wishing you ill?
Are we wishing you ill because we didn't go to Iraq?
Iraq was an illegal private crusade of your president. I'm glad we didn't participate. We even warned you of the mess this would become. Is it now our fault that you didn't listen to our advises?

Guantanamo has lowered the reputation of the US dramatically. A country that claims to fight for human rights, liberty and to be the "good one" should be better than denying prisoners basic rights like being tried, having lawyers etc. That's the behaviour that dictatorships show to people they want to have out of the way.
I don't like those extremists either and if they are guilty of murder or attempted murder then let them rot there for the rest of their lifes. But as long as they are not even allowed to defend themselves properly you are acting like the countrys you count to the "evil" ones.
