Um -=aoC|PRoZaK=- that's been the whole reason we have forces in Afganastan.  We're just takin' out terrorist cells.  We started this operation with food drops.  This country has always walked a thin line.  We try to help all the innocents while we kill the enemy (the people tryin' to kill us).  Lot's of American's have died because we have bent over backwards to save innocents.   would be to say we've started destroying other cultures.  If you would have ever seen the degree of pain this country goes to to keep the civilians on the ground safe from harm I think you would have a diffrent opinion.  I've been there and I know it changed my life.  We have this country because of the American soldier that has bleed and died for this country.  If their is one way to celebrate your independance today it is just to remember those people.
