J., you get the cool head of the day award for that post. For the record, I have no sympathy for the hijackers, but they're all dead. What their organizational base was is speculative at this point. Afghanistan is an easy target for retaliation, but Afghanistan is, by all indications, such a miserable place at this point, it's hard to see how anything short of nuclear attack would show up on the screen there. Any kind of proportional response would kill many more innocent people. Is that what we want? Is that what America stands for?

I agree with you on Lockerbie as a precedent. The wheels of justice sometimes grind slowly, but I'd say we're better off living with that than looking for somebody to bomb into the stone age for a quick revenge fix. Back in Afghanistan, they seem to have gone back close enough to the stone age already.
