......but as to your other main point, I've already acknowledged that. However, many in the Middle East who do not share the blood lust of their radical brethren and sisters will die right along side of them. It's sad, it isn't fair, it's tragic................

.........AND THESE MURDEROUS ISLAMIC BASTARDS SHOULD HAVE DAMNED-WELL THOUGHT OF THAT BEFOREHAND.

Let's see what "heroes" they're considered to be after their actions result in their home countries being reduced to rubble, their economies destroyed, their people forced to return to living in tents in the desert.

Sadly, it's the only way. No more half measures. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Lobbing a couple of cruise missiles, hand-wringing about "understanding" our enemy will NOT suffice any longer.

It is a sad fact of life that innocent lives (in the sense that they played no role in these attacks) will be snuffed, perhaps even under a mushroom cloud not seen since 1945. But if that is what it takes, then so be it.

Listen to yourself. The fricking fanatics who bombed the World Trade Center thought the SAME DAMNED WAY: "The Americans should have thought about the number of civilians who would die before they bombed Iraq, or before they supported Israel."

Should the members of the American Patriot movement, militias for example, have been arrested en mass after the McVeigh arrest?

We are a great nation, a proud nation, a virtuous nation. We WILL exact a terrible vengance on those responsible.

BUT, we will NOT engage in barbaric acts, we will not slaughter innocents because they live in the same space as the perpetrators or, however tangentially, worship the same God.
