So those are the only choices, huh?

You called for millions of deaths within a couple of weeks. But taking out Afghanistan won't be enough. You'll have to start with 150,000,00 Arabs. Who's next? A billion Chinese, maybe? 3/4 of the humans race seems about right.

As for the nonsense about taking cookies to bin Laben and Saddam, just remember who armed them both. Yup, the dear old US of A. Reagan, as I recall. Seems to me that you war mongerers have been doling out a lot of cookies over the last few years.

No I didn't. Those were your words, not mine. I merely responded...a bit sarcastically, I'll admit. Perhaps sarcasm does not register at a time such as this. But let me be clear...I am advocating a strong and unequivocal response against the perpetrators, once identified. I am not advocating, random, sweeping violence. Your statement about killing all the Arabs and Chinese is a straw man argument.

The first good point you've made on this thread. But follow this logic: "We made past mistakes in arming what turned out to be terrorists. Now they blew up our buildings and killed thousands of innocent people, but because we screwed up in the past, we can't retalliate now."

That simply doesn't make sense. What, specifically, is your preferred response to the attack?
