Actually, I tend to agree with those who advocate killing more Muslims. We should target terrorists and terrorist supporters, but I think we are being too careful about collateral damage. We need to kill them until all of the terrorists, terrorist supporters, and terrorist sympathizers are dead or until the remaining ones surrender. We can be friends someday just as we are now friends with the Japanese. I enjoyed the coverage of President Bush and the Japanese Prime Minister at Graceland, but we can't forget that this friendship wouldn't be possible if we hadn't hit them hard enough to make them surrender in 1945. If we'd kept trying to "win hearts and minds," we'd still be fighting WWII.
While I agree with hitting our enemies hard, I recognize that there are subtle approaches that will help us accomplish those goals. The article failed to show anything that proves that all of what we're seeing isn't part of some strategy. I'm not even going so far as to say that I think the president has found the right strategy, but the article failed to persuade me that his strategy is wrong or that Dr. Rice is the wrong person to fulfill the Secretary of State's role in that strategy.
