I am criticizing magnitude, not direction.

(Notwithstanding Truman, I am not suggesting targeting anyone but the terrorists.)

 

Given the nature of the threat, time is not on our side.

What we don't eradicate we must petrify. NOW.

[palmer]

I agree with your points except that I don't think we have the ability petrify terrorists. From what I read of bin Laden his war experience such as having a live grenade land next to him has made him fearless. But we and our allies have soldiers on our side who are equally fearless and we need to take advantage of that.
