War begets war...unfortunately that's the only way we have been able to keep the miltary-industrial complex spending the biggest proportion of our hardearned dollars. With imminent forceful response, all we are guaranteeing is more war, more losses of innocent lifes and the military guys having their cakes with an endless supply of cherries on top.

I hope so Lola. One thing we must learn how to do is look deep within ourselves and determine the causes of why things happen. If we blindly bomb again all we are doing is perpetuating the cycle of violence. If we can do something to address the causes of terrorism with some effective military response (hey I would love to bring Osama back and hang him by a New York bridge) I am all for it. But If we just go and obliterate other people without addressing the root causes of this problem (which is our foreign policy) all we are doing is putting in danger ourselves and our kids again sometime in the future. I know this sounds cruel but I call it as I see it always. And lord knows I have been wrong many times.
