I don't pretend to be a genius but I've been in some hairy spots in my life. Enough of that to know that force is sometimes all that will work even temporarily and that negotiating is weakness to some. I am troubled by our mixed signals. I liked Bush's clearer vision in the weeks following 9-11.

Force will work somewhat. But you will have every Arab in every Country fighting every one for years and years. It will never end untill all Countries have Democracy.

I agree with you Wardaddy, we must be prepared to face our mortal enemy, militant Islam, but we must also do as Peggy suggests, Pray, pray, pray.....
