Absurd and offensive to who?  The prevailing mainstream
Arab view seem pretty supportive of the attacks.

The Afghanistan government (unrecognized by the U.S. but
effectively in charge anyway) did not choose to recognize
it as a criminal act and hand over the leaders of Al Quada.

Hence, they were invaded and replaced.  Is this also
the obviously correct thing to do?

Might makes right and the mighty write history
which is "obviously" correct anytime a new faction
is in charge?

Are Irael's current pogroms or attacks in Palestinian
neighorhoods or camps in response to "terrorist" attacks 
"obviously" incorrect?
