<<It is the acts of foreign governments that constitute acts of war.>>

What if foreign governments (in countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, or Pakistan) were backing & / or supporting the terrorist cells? Wouldn't we be justified to try to wipe out the cell in a careful and targeted way? Yet, we should also send a decisive message to those behind the terrorists. I tend to agree with the statements I have read from Kissinger and Powell on how they view an appropriate response. Obviously, we must carefully coordinate with allies and major Gulf states whenever possible. Yet, we may have to use select mercenary activities when terrorist leaders have been clearly identified. IMHO, we must eliminate the leaders of these cells. This will take time and a lot of support from the American people and from Congress. Lets hope folks have the stomach to do what may need to be done.

Best Regards,

Scott
