Lola, I have to agree w/ BirdDog, CB, and Area51 here. Your comments really make no sense to me. There is really no out here for the U.S.--after 7,000 civilians were killed by "missile/planes" and one was killed by bio-engineered anthrax, and more are threatened. And not only do we have to "sleep" with the enemy--an Indian friend of mine who grew up in London told me yesterday the way we will probably get Bin Laden will be by making a deal with lesser terrorists (who knows--maybe infiltrators in ISI? Or Hamas) behind the scenes, giving them concessions that might appal most citizens, and the world will never know about that. It's a dirty business. That doesn't mean we "fail" to see that other countries have a right to defend themselves against terrorism. When have we ever had a position like that? What would long-term thinking here be? "Let's wait for another attack"? Frankly, wars have existed for as long as civilization has, and "long-term" thinking, whatever that might be, would not have prevented them.
