I thoght that an apprppriate response to 9/11 would have been to vaporise Damascus, Tehran, Baghdad, Riyadh andd Mecca.
That would have gotten the point across: "Attack our civilisation and we'll destroy yours. Utterly."

My thinking exactly.......and I've believed it since sometime around Noon (EDT) on September 11, 2001. Should have put on what the French call "son et lumière." It means "sound and light," but I can retranslate it as "shock and awe."
When are our leaders going to understand that the only thing these people respect is exactly what you propose? Frankly, I believe that Rumsfeld knows that this would have been a very quick way to settle things with "global jihad." Colin Powell surely disagreed, alas. I'm not sure what President Bush would have done, had most of his military advisors recommended the "Noumenon" solution.
Thank you so much for such a strong comment......with which I agree........"UTTERLY!"
