You have to deal with people on their own level - that's the only way that's effective.
Treating savages like choir Boys produces results like this one.
So does speeeches like John Murtha's and Dick Durbin. EVERY speech given by EVERY politician opposed to this war has provided the savages who did this with the hope, inspiration and energy to commit acts like this in the not unreasonable expection they will generate even more dissent from the Fifth Columnists in the Criminal anti-war movement.
In the war against terror, like WW1 and WW2, free speech should end when American boots hit the enemy ground.
