To turn to the news these days and the ongoing “war”. A line of thought, that may not be fully formed but I am going to go with it anyway.
The events of the 11th of last month were a tragedy yes that is a 100% given, however should a similar event now occur or another large scale attack on mainland USA or the UK, it’s not going to be quite the same thing. They are at war. (note the full stop if you please) That kinda changes the rules, such an attack now would not be a terrorist attack it would be part of war simple as that…

So bearing that in mind, how many Afghans who did not condone the attacks in NYC and DC and who possibly argued against them before they took place are now seeing their country under bombardment from much more powerful nations with no realistic way of fighting back.

That could change the “battlefield” for some mindsets….
