While I agree with your opinion I must admit there are some issues I have with that course of action. First of all, we need to make an example out of someone. I think the logical step is to make that example out of someone who has something to lose. My course of action would be to decimate Baghdad since we all know Saddam played a hand in this. From there I believe we need to occupy that country and use it as a base to eliminate the "thugs" in the region. This would serve several purposes. One, we would send a message to the world that we will not go light on terrorism. Terrorism will be met with swift, punishing and deadly consequences - no exceptions - no rules - no compassion. Second, I think seeing a serious display of recourse will serve as a boost for our nation which I believe is now in a funk. The occupation of a country in that region would give us direct and immediate access to address these terrorist groups in a swift manner. It would also *maybe* serve as a stabilizing effect. Overall I think the way we have handled this has been fine but I think the American people need to see a harsh reaction on the idiot box to this event. After that I think they can put it behind them and allow our military to work covert missions which will be more important in the long run.
