Well spoken/written BYouth ... amazingly there are many in the world who feel as you do, myself included. Sadly, the many who disagree do not have the "power" of those who think an attack on an ill-defined target (terrorism) is worthwhile.

I don't even know that contacting politicians is useful. When this "attack on terrorism" started, I wrote and begged the Australian Government to at least pause before committing troops, and consider the current Israel/Palestine crisis as an example of what WILL happen. It took them 4 months to reply, and the answer was the most organised bunch of propaganda and pat answers I've seen in a long time. I was extremely disappointed...

How can anyone make a difference in something like this (and this IS a serious question)?
