So the slaughter of 6,000 people has affected US, and other countries, foreign policy.

Anyone hazard a guess as to what a larger, more widespread, death toll (whether from biochem warfare or other means) might do to policy?

The international verbal condemnation of the 9-11 attack is one thing but certainly there are nations who have not yet stepped up to the commitment and task of a thorough and complete terrorist hunt. (And how can tolerant democracies be encouraged in these areas?)

How would tools of policy - military, economic - then be used? I hesitate to mention diplomatic because isn't diplomacy simply finding a balance between military and economic threat, suitable for achieving a particular goal?

Or maybe that's the way things are now...
