Chuck, you need to use logic and foresight to see what is happening in the
mid-east. Your view is to small which limits your ability to see the big
picture.

Jesse James and company rode out of Missouri.

If every time they held up a bank, the government declared martial law in first
Kansas, then Nebraska, then Oklahoma,
etc etc etc......how would that be any different than what we're doing/
planning to do now? Certainly would have never caught the James/Younger Gang
(many of whom learned you don't screw around with a Minnesota farmer's money)

Foreign governments may not be our friends, but neither is any foreign
government the enemy that brazenly and criminally attacked us. We need to put
down the dog proven to be rabid first.....and then if we need to look at other
dogs that could possibly be infected too, we should.


I'm all for getting those criminal *******s.
Absolutely. Work within or outside the confines of international law to get it
done.
Any country worth a dinkle would help us out or at least stand back and let us
bring these *******s to death or trial. No **** ant country would dare protest
us
going in to extract bin Ladin, and our allies would either help or keep silent.
Who would want to side with Osama bin Ladin?

Don't forget that 90% of the country was rootin' for GWB when he said he was
out to get OBL, "dead or alive". Too bad we lost focus.

If our current foreign policy is an effective response to 9-11, the majority of
people cannot see just how. (Bush can't say "There is no connection" one month,
and then say "We're avenging the 9-11 massacre" the next). If our current
foreing policy is not a direct respoinse to 9-11, we have every right in the
world to ask why it isn't.

Solving terorism in general is no higher than item "B", if that's what the
justification for Iraq etc is. Item "A" should be bringing down the *******
that is already attacking us *now*.
