Not if they're dead.
There aren't many human beings who place as little value on their own lives as these terrorists do. They are like a cancer.

We don't weaken ourselves, or our resolve, by trying to penetrate the caricatures (such as "terrorist") that always pop up in the wake of an act of war. If not useful today, knowlege and understanding might be useful in preventing another stike in the future.
It might even result in our ability to live peacefully, rather than as permanenet hunter-gatherers--hunting down terrorists and killing them all.
Amen, brother. Read Psalms 18:34. "He trains my hands for battle, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze." I believe we have reached that time. As FDR said, we shall gain the inevitable triumph, so help us, God.

You and your neo-con bomber buddies are a close second.
