After a few days it came out that it was an Aerican group. What I want to say isthat we have first to find out who was responsible for this attack and then try to find out what we can do. Javad, I agree with you completely. However, the US has requested, and NATO has agreed that these horrific attacks be treated as an Article 5 attack on all NATO member states. This has never occurred before. I do not think this request would have been made unless the American Government had very credible evidence pointing directly at certain regimes. Unfortunately, there will be hell to pay and many more deaths of innocent people. People in my country, Canada, have lost friends and relatives on some of the aircraft used as human bombs. We are known to be a very tolerant people, a nation of Peace keepers who only wish to "live and let live" but we are completely outraged as a nation by this. I believe that the US and Nato will first identify, then deal appropriately with any and all nations involved in providing succor, shelter and funds. Regards, Greg J. Lorenzo Alberta, Canada
