I don't need their allegiance, I just need to know that they are not going to continue killing my friends and neighbors. I need to know that they will not detonate a nuclear bomb in my city or release biological or chemical weapons in the United States.

It's nothing personal, madrussian, believe me. And I'm certainly not advocating carpet-bombing the middle east. However, if we discover that Iraq and/or Iran was involved in this, then those states will need to be dealt with harshly.

I don't have problem with that. But the neocons have already come up with a list of countries that need to be "taken care of". And it seems the scope of retaliation they have in mind is more like a war against islam, rather than retaliation.
