Not wrong at all. I come from the Atilla-the-Hun school of military response....give them worse than they give you! Far worse. I would have destroyed cities in the Middle East immediately and killed thousands in days until they begged me to take bin Laden off their hands. This enemy understands violence. We need to teach them a lesson in violence.
I forgot to say that Senators do not understand the application of violence as a tool in winning conflicts. They think passing laws solves problems....it does not. It creates problems so lawyers have work.
