Just as terrorists, American or foreign, cunningly used our own planes and mailboxes against us, so they used our own morality against us. We were stumbling over scruples against a foe with no scruples.

Interesting but what more could we expect from our liberal friends at the NYT ...

I do agree with the above statement; further, I believe it's time that America stopped trying to wage a moral war against an immoral enemy.

Civilian casualties ?

One deterrent of war is that most leaders of nations do not want to put their civilians in position of danger. It is what makes most leaders refrain from war. We have not chosen to place innocents in Afghanistan in danger, their "leadership" has. So, let their blood be on the Taleban hands. We should not however, let the outcome hinge on anything less than destroying this evil wherever it hides !

I noticed Ike posting earlier about thousands of Muslims making their way from Pakistan to Afghanistan to join the jihad .... a column of hundreds of vehicles. Once they clear the border and are safely into Afghanistan away from refugee camps, I would suggest we clear the earth of their little road show.

If they hunger for death so desperately, we should grant them their wishes. I hope we rain hell on their journey later today.

It is time .... this is not an exercise in morality despite our moral intentions or the blabbering of American press.
