In all what you have said try to think of the innocent Kenyans and 
Tanzanians who have no power to retalliate and cannot speak out because 
nobody will listen.

Ask an ordinary Kenyan and Tanzanian whether what the US did was right 
or wrong they will tell you they do not care. How do we stand up for 
the cause of the oppressed people in the Middle East if they do not 
care how many Africans they slaughter in the name of fighting 
imperialism.Does an African life really matter in world politics.Why 
should the bombing of a pharmaceutical company overshadow what happened 
in Kenya. Please before you condemn America unequivocally condemn the 
people who bombed Kenya and Tanzania.Iam telling you if Moi(the Kenyan 
President ) had his way and power he would have declared war on the 
people who shelter those who caused such devastation in Kenya. What 
America did in Sudan and Afghanistan does not comew close to the 
brutality that occured in Kenya .So let us wake up and stop bluffing.
Bye,
