In his resolve to hunt down and kill the Osama bin Laden terrorists he says committed the Sept. 11 massacres, President Bush has behind him a nation more unified than it has been since Pearl Harbor. But now Bush has been put on notice that this war cannot end with the head of bin Laden and the overthrow of the Taliban.

Do you prefer a theology that sends suicide killers of women and children to eternal punishment? Or, maybe, you prefer
It is time for you to get out of neutral, and defend America.
Liberals want a world order under the UN, neocons want a world order under the US. Neither is feasible. Lets just strike at the bastards who did this (and their collaborators) and be done with it.
Exactly.....
So what? Why does PB think Libya, Iran, Syria, et al., AND Arafat to boot, are falling all over themselves to see who can kiss Uncle Sam's behind most sweetly? They're scared, they fear us, and they know they cannot defeat us if we put all our military might behind this war on terrorism. Pat's way off base on this one and the neo-cons are right.
On the contrary. It's insanity not to pursue the campaign against militant Islam throughout eternity. Once Osama is dust and the Northern Alliance (or some one else) has replaced the Taliban, it is asbolutely that the western world (and I include Russia and China in this group) work clandestinely or otherwise to destablize every arab government which refuses to recognize the twenty-first century and continues to sponsor anti-western terrorists.
To do otherwise is to acknowledge the inevitability of eleventh-century Islam conquering the entire globe.
Hardly seems fair, does it?
They're scared, they fear us, and they know they cannot defeat us if we put all our military might behind this war on terrorism.
Amen. The last thing we need is a stalemate a la Israeli/Palestinian punch swapping. Use our momentum and put a stop to this now, before it escalates. Leave every radical musulim state walking away and looking over their shoulder thinking, "Dam*! I don't want a piece of that action." Even passive support of terrorist causes should come with a price tag too awful to consider. The carrot can come later.
Fail to do that and you might as well start picking out which member of your family you want as a part of the next 7000 Americans to die.
That's funny.
I don't see this at all from the portions that Pat quoted. Do you have a link to the original letter?
Are the later quotes from Emerson and Schmitt from the letter, or are they signers of the letter?
I suspect that Pat is setting up his own straw man to knock down in order to impress his old supporters.
Huh????
I asked you a direct question, and you side-stepped it. Let's try again, and this time, read what I write:
Can you not tell the difference, Leroy S. Mort, between a religion that condemns suicide killers to hell, and a
Please answer this question, or is it too difficult for you?
I agree that we should be shown something to justify our actions but I don't feel the need to see that proof before ramping up to take our counter action.
