Andy- Are you trying to compare what Florida and Germany did with what Afghanistan has done?? Are you out of your f*ing mind? Get a clue! Florida and Germany did NOT knowingly help these animals. Afghanistan did. That is the problem with liberals. They try to twist the truth and make everyone feel sorry for the criminals. I say it is time to feel sorry for the victims. To hell with the criminals. Did you see the people in Pakistan dancing in the street? Do you realize that Afghanistan has known where Bin Laden was and did nothing to capture him- even though they know is is planning to kill people? They may not have known where/when/how Bin Laden was going to kill people, but they knew he was going to kill. If we make a couple examples (Afghanistan and Pakistan come to mind) other countries will not only NOT allow people like Bin Laden to stay in their country, but they will most likely help hunt them down and kill them. Over time terrorist will be reduced to a small number of ineffective people.
