Bush made a point of saying first that the Brits are with us in the strikes on Kabul, with other countries lined up to help in future strikes.
NBC said the military will be flying to provide cover over major sporting events in the U.S. this afternoon to protect all those stadiums full of spectators.

I had the news on (BBC news 24) and they started reporting explosions over Kabul about 1-2 hours ago.
Just waiting to see what Tony Blair (TB) is gonna say, but one thing is for sure with GWB mentioning us Brit's and TB about to speak our guy's (the RAF) must be in the thick of it with your guy's.

Blair is speaking, talking about British forces helping U.S. in Kabul.
He is making it clear that there is no doubt Osama is responsible for the attack on the WTC. He says it is clear the Taliban chose to side with terror and protect Osama.
They are doing all they humanly can to avoid civilian casualties. Precise British involvement includes military assets. This is an international effort with France, Germany, Canada, (and others) pledging support, too.
Help will also be sent to the civilians of Afghanistan for humanitarian efforts along with help from the U.S.
British people were also killed in the WTC. Even if that hadn't happened, Blair considers the attack by Osama as a direct attack against Britan as well.
He is still speaking...

I hurt for the 5000+ citizens from 80 or so nations around the world still buried under 100,000,000 tons of rubble in New York city.

Help is being sent, too
They are better off today than they were yesterday.
Food, medicine and other emergency supplies are ALSO being dropped for those civilians, for the true Islamic people who need help because they have nothing.

Osama made a statement through a spokesperson after the attack.
He has declared that it is war against all of Islam, a war for Allah. "May God bless all Muslims."
He said God destroyed some of the U.S. greatest buildings and he thanks God. He is glad for the terror in the U.S.
It is every Muslim's role to fight to protect Islam. The U.S. claims to fight terrorism, but is really fighting Islam.
The world is in two halves- the "faithful" and the "sinners."
"I swear by Allah, anyone who lives in U.S. will have no peace until every Israeli is out of Palistine territory."

Does anyone doubt now that Osama is behind the attacks?

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let it pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon: let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide;
Hold hard the breath, and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English,
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof-
Fathers that like so many Alexanders
Have in these parts from morn till even fought,
And sheath'd their swords for lack of argument.
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeomen,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding- which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit; and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

TV is saying emergency food, water, and medicine drops near refugee camps can be made with amazing accuracy by the U.S. airforce. They are even being careful not to send any pork products so as not to offend the Muslim refugees.
The goal is to get non-military relief workers on the ground to be able to really set up help for the Afghan people. The air drops are emergency help until more organized help can be safely provided.
