"Where evil is mighty and defiant, the obligation to use force – that is war – arises." – Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan, Naval Strategy, 1911. (note: not 9/11. But close if you speed read.)

Ah... but remember that African Continental idiot Kofi Anan keeps reminding us daily, ..."if a single innocent or civilian (or presumably not uniformed) person dies, then it, itself, becomes terrorism."

Hehe - of course our terrorist enemies are not part of a clearly defined military force, so they must be "civilians."

That's why every time a terrorist is killed by US forces, the MSM reports it as "American soldiers kill civilian."
