>> What is your view on how a country should respond to a terrorist attack if the military option is omitted? War is such an insane topic to me, so I have no easy answers. My solution requires another thousand years of human evolution. We've been killing each other for 30,000 years and to expect a different result from the same action is pure insanity. God gave us a brain so we could figure out patterns. Hopefully, the teachings of King and Ghandi of this century is a turning point in our evolution, but we've got a long way to go. The terrorism issue, I personally see no difference between someone walking in a cafe and blowing themselves up verses a missle or a nuke blowing up the same place. Maybe we need to change the definition of terrorism. But to me, having rules in war is as insane as war itself. Actually, I realize war is all part of the learning process. We have to cause human suffering before we can learn anything. Some of the greatest inventions have come from war. We're at the point of human evolution where we have to wait for something to break before we fix it - "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
