And to teach 3000 innocent Americans a lesson, we should have been bombed? Because we were "involved overseas"?

What about my post gives you the idea I condoned this act? This was a declaration of war and now we have no option but to take the war to them. That being said, we should start cleaning our own house and influence other nations by being an example of how true individual liberty and justice can benefit all. We don't need to be handing the US taxpayers cash to despotic govts abroad because the state department wants to wield some influence. I like that saying, although I can't remember who said it: "foreign aid is taking money from poor people in rich countries to give to rich people in poor countries".

Probably Jesse Jackson.

You mean like the Israelis are doing, giving voting rights to Palestinians, and jobs in Israel, as the same people come back at night and blow themelves up in pizzarias, taking innocent Israelis with them?

The kind of people we're fighting don't care about any kind of organized government. They want Sharia rule, and they'll kill whomever they have to to get it.

We fund and protect our interests. The rags don't like us to have interests outside our borders, but that's tough, ain't it?

The Muslim world wants what we've got, which is freedom and liberty. But we're going to have to help them get it.
