But I will say this: men do not commit suicide for a cause against people who have done nothing to offend them.

So, when the Japanese began throwing kamikazis at us, we should have just said, "Oh, what the hell. Let them have the Pacific."

I don't see why the US should change its foreign policy because some maniac in Afganistan is offended by it.

Oh? Did I say that? Did I imply it? Your analogy fails as the kamikazees were committing suicide to protect their country against America. *That* was their motivation. Note that Japan didn't *start* their war with suicide bombers -- they ended the war using them.

You seemed to ignore the part of my post where I said we should find out who did this and bring them to justice by whatever means necessary. Maybe I just didn't make that clear enough. Hopefully I have now.
