This isn't WWII. This isn't VietNam, and this isn't even the same as the most recent war in Iraq. This a new form of warfare, and the leaders and planners MUST take into account the political ramifications of what exactly they direct our forces against. We would be viewed as much worse than "weak" if we indiscriminantly attack when provoked. This calls for particular nuance, and here's hoping they have (and use) it.

Having said that, it is difficult not to call for all-out direct assault on any enemy positions. Even in a Mosque.
