Many residents of America (some of them citizens) have donated huge sums of money to Hizbulla, Hamas, and Bin Ladin. How will we deal with them? We have allowed websites to operate from the U.S. that seek to raise funds for these groups.
How will we define a terrorist? Is Arafat a terrorist, a freedom fighter, or a politician? I know how I'd vote, but I'm not calling the shots.
Saudi Arabians have provided millions or billions of petrodollars to terrorists, and Saudi Arabia hasn't provided much assistance to us. In one case, they executed alleged terrorists, without allowing the FBI to talk to them. Do we declare war on Saudi Arabia?
If we have to attack Saudia Arabia and Egypt, how do we deal with the fact that they have U.S. fighter jets and AWACs?
Pakistan has previously refused to help us. If we need to attack them, can we first destroy Pakistan's nuclear weapons?
How do we make high-profile buildings safer in the future? Can temperature-resistant ceramics be included in addition to the steel structure?
