Fast Eddy,

Sorry, pal, that's just the kind of "failed language" we've tried with the Achille Lauro, Lockerbie, Lebanon, African Embassies, USS Cole, and where are we? Anthrax in the Congressional halls, 7 month old babies are viable targets. The only time we have succeeded against a terrorist state in the last 30 years was Reagan bombing Ghaddafi's palaces in Tripoli.
You're still fighting Vietnam and all its ghosts. This isn't Vietnam. It's time to awaken from the national nightmare and face the grim day before it's too late.
