You've defined the enemy. You say it's not piracy. It can't be war if the perpetrators aren't countries, one wouldn't think. So if it's a crime, then are we restricted to going after only those who we can prove guilty and then putting them in jail? And leaving the rest of the terrorist network in place? If an organization commits large scale atrocities against the US I have no problem with taking the war to it even if it isn't a country that is committing the atrocities. It's an organization with an army not just a small band of criminals. It considers itself at war. If it wants a fight it just called out the biggest kid on the block. We shall see whether it can run and hide or not. An attack on this scale is IMO an act of war. If it was Bin Ladin that did it then it is not his first such act. The attack on the Cole and the previous attack on the world trade center apparently both came from his organization. Even if looked purely as a criminal case you could make the argument that the whole organization is a criminal conspiracy. Tim
