Aggie, Re: <<"That is why you have to be very careful when you respond — make sure you respond in a way that punishes the real perpetrators, that brings justice, not revenge, because otherwise you will be going against your own ideals, and that is what the terrorists want most." >>

That's why it worries me so much when President Bush used the terms "justice" and "wanted dead or alive" in the same sentence on a national news stage. It didn't help when he did this with his famous "neener, neener" smirk. That kind of statement and impression will repel both intellectual and emotional thinkers in the Arab world and elsewhere. Someone needs to assure that we spin whatever we do in a way that is most acceptable to the many people throughout the world who now have access to our faces and our voices through mass media sources.
