At exactly 24 hours after the first plane hit the first tower, several ME capitals should have been gone.

While your anger is understandable, anyone who would advocate the indiscriminate murder of millions of people who had nothing to do with 9/11 in order to "send a message" is a bigger monster than even the terrorists themselves.

The message we delievered instead is that we are civilized.

Because we are. Please consider joining us.

While your anger is understandable
I'm not angry at all, I'm cold and calculating.
There is a goal to achieve, and anger doesn't enable rational steps toward achieving that goal.

anyone who would advocate the indiscriminate
I wasn't indiscriminate. I specified several capitals in the ME.
Indiscriminate would be saturation nuclear bombing of non-enemy areas.

murder of millions of people
Elimination of those intent on killing you is not murder.

bigger monster than even the terrorists themselves.
I have no problem with being the "bigger monster" that is in fact the point of the lesson delivered.
It's never a good idea to wake up the boogieman, or monster.

As far as joining you, no thanks, I choice to not be a willing victim.

The UN has had no problem when the Baathists filled ditches with bodies. The Germans, the French, the Russians, the Stalinists who call themselves "progressives" or "democrats" have no problem with Saddam, or Pol Pot, or Kim Il Jung, stacking bodies. Castro engaging in house cleaning, or Carter and his "boat lift" are OK.

So, if we MOAB the Sunni Triangle, who will say we were wrong?
