What would be your response? Would you wait until the next attack to see
if
the terrorists really meant to harm us?

Of course not. The idea is to prevent the next, and all future attacks.
You
guys generally seem to think that means militarily taking over every
country
where criminal terrorists reside. I think it means:

The best way to prevent an offensive force from killing you is to kill them
first.

1. Identify the enemy. Do this by doubling, tripling, or quintupling the
intelligence budget. Use both electronic surveillance *and* clandestine
operatives. Infiltrate the
terrorist cells and identify the criminal terrorist *******s during the
planning process, (not after the fact).

I'm glad you have seen the error of Kerry's ways and you want to correct the
damage he and his fellow Democrats have done to our intelligence
capabilities.

2. Surgically remove the terrorist leaders.
We can do this in ways that would leave even their supporters unsure
whether
the
head ******* was taken out by the US or died of natural causes.

Killing the top guy only means that a new top guy will emerge. Start at the
bottom.

3. Avoid repeating the mistakes of Israel, Russia, and other countries
that
have decades of experience fighting the same problem.

Isreal has had their hands tied behind their backs by international public
opinion. One of these days they will flip the world the bird and solve the
middle east problem themselves.

Russia couldn't react fast enough in Afganistan, we proved that.

4. Try to insure that we are not creating hatred for the US faster than we
are
killing off the folks who already hate us.

If everybody hates us then why do the oppressed people of the world want to
come here to better their lives?
