If we dont have the stomach for this, we should pull our forces away from the cities now First of all, they weren't US soldiers - they were civilians with a civilian security detachment. A "soft target". Second, the observation that Americans don't have the stomach for this sort of thing is what leads to September 11's. That is the lesson of Somalia. Pulling our forces away from the cities now would be repeating precisely the mistake we made in Beirut and Mogadishu. "See? Kill a few Americans and drag them through the streets, and they run with their tails between their legs." We have the stomach for this. Derek
