<<Islamic nations believe that they would suffer very minimal retribution for secretly sponsoring such a devastating blow on America, precisely because of high US moral standards that would preclude massive strikes at mere suspect states

What are they forcing us to do? How can we surgically extract the real culprits without killing thousands of innocent people? >>


susieq, you really can't avoid killing thousands of innocent people if you at war. Sometimes the only solution to eradicate a problem is go all out...which means killing thousands in the process. But, we don't see many of the innocent doing away with the real killers.

Our problem as a nation is that we feel we need to get everyone else's approval in the world before we attack our enemies. I believe this is why we couldn't get Saddum back during desert storm...we gave him about 3 months head start to go and hide himself, while he put (untrained troops on the front lines).

I wish I knew the easy answer to the problem. I feel for the presidents dilemma as to how to approach the destruction of the culprits.

Bottom line, we need to strike and strike HARD...but, we need an actual target first. Just my thoughts.
