We need to show we have that big stick and are willing to use it right now or we will inspire more terrorism action against us.

This has potential to do what Clinton did to us with non-responsiveness.

You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately it does not appear, from Bush's statements a short time ago, that we are going to do anything extraordinary. I hope that my conclusions are wrong. This is clearly a situation where major, swift, decisive military action is required. If Bush does not act, we are clearly sending the wrong signal to all.
