To date, this has been a cost-free option for them. Heads I win; tails, those nasty terrorists have nothing to do with me, nothing at all.

What I really wonder is how we will respond when eventually we're hit with a biological or chemical attack??

Will people be still saying "we can't attack such and such radical nation" because we don't have any proof they had anything to with it??

I mean think about it. One biological or chemical attack and we're not able to pin it on any one nation in particular, despite the knowledge that terrorists have used these states for sanctuary and support??

I'd rather the world think we Americans are about to run rampant and get some payback... even if it means taking down some nasty regimes where we might not have concrete evidence of terrorist complicity.

After all, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and only if we're willing to take the world to the brink of regional war will they truly attempt to placate us and deal with these terrorist networks.

Sometimes the best strategy is not to be overly predictable or moderate. I want some folks out there in the international world to know we're ready to shake some things up to their detriment if we don't get our way with regard to rounding up these folks and locking down access to WMDs in radical regimes..
