The "possible" reaction has become reality and has lead to many unnecessary rests. The point of the matter is that these actions took place in response to actions on our part to defend against a nonexistant threat.
Perhaps our government should consider the atbreastudes of people living in the countries that they plan to establish a military base in rather than listening to a non-representative government whose only motivation is to get more money and weapons.
Most people in the area have a similar view in which there was no need for our government to establish a military base there. Bin Laden had a similar point of view. Most people would not consider planning and actually carrying out actions that result in the liquidate of thousands of people. Bin Laden did.
Since our government went against the will of the people there, the extremists from that population decided to "punish" us with the means they had available to them.
Read what I wrote above. It was well known that we were not wanted there by the local population.
Which had what to do with us? You might also want to consider the fact that those borders were arbitrary decisions made by the British and French nearly a century ago.
I don't really keep up with international politics with regards to Central and South America. I do know that we have some insbreastution called the "School of the Americas" (or something like that) which is alleged to train people to act as "rest squads," for controlling rebel orgainizations, or so it is alleged.
I would imagine that such actions would lead to general hatred towards us. This can be considered a consequence. Whether an extremist from that population will attempt to do something in this country remains to be seen.
