    What's America got to do with it?

    Chris Sinnard: did you oppose American retaliation against al Qaida after 9/11 because it would just made them mad? Should Israelis refuse to defend themselves because some Americans think the US isn't able to protect its own citizens? If terrorists start shooting rockets into your neighborhood, will you demand that the US military let them keep doing it because if we stop them and the Canadians applaud our efforts then they might attack Canada next? Or are only American lives worth anything to you?
