" But SMART people handle such things in a SMART way. "
And what 'Smart way' would you use to handle people that NUKED a U.S. city and killed millions?
Hmm?
It would not be in such a way as to kill millions not involved with it nor in such a way as to make OBL extremely happy.

Do you not recall the heavy damage inflicted upon the Grand Mosque in Mecca about 20 years ago when the Iranians seized the building and had to be blasted out by the Saudi army?
While I believe the world would be a better place without Mecca I would not allow that opinion to be made public nor my response to a bombing.
