[Reagan Man]

What we all witnessed on 9-11 had little, if anything to do with a jihad, or a crusade. It was mass murder, plain and simple. Someone needs to finally be taught a good lesson, that this atrocity will not go unpunished. The individuals who committed this act of barbaric slaughter against America will not get away from the long arm of American justice.

Like the President said, 'wanted, dead or alive'. I prefer dead myself and the sooner the better!

I think the professor is lying. Especially, where it says Similarly, the laws of jihad categorically preclude wanton and indiscriminate slaughter.

Can he claim to know the "Laws of Jihad" better than those Afghan so-called holy men? We've all read what they preach.

Afghanistan is as sick a society as Japan was before WWII.

After killing every terrorist and the camel he rode in on, we should reconstitute it just as thoroughly or more so than our parents and grandparents reconstituted Japan. Dig out MacArthur's notes, and do what he did.

I can hear the blafs bleating already, "Nation Building!" they'll cry, and worse. Afganistan is a nation that needs building from the bottom up, the top down, and side to side every which-a-way..

"Why is it our job?" they'll whine. Because we can do it and they cannot.

"Who gives you the right?" they'll simper. Self protection: if we allow that social puss to continue to fester we will get again what we got before.
