Teevee, re: The bottom line is the Bush doctrine of making unilateral pre-emptive strikes against real and perceived threats. I happen to agree with Bush that it make sense to kill the terrorists before they kill more Americans and Israelis.

Let's think about that statement. There are 6,000,000,000 people on the planet. We can't even locate and kill the most famous terrorist in the world; Osama Bin Ladin, who taunts us with videos and audio tapes even though we know he's likely to be in a few thousand square mile region, and even with a fortune in reward money on his head.

Just exactly how are you and Bush going to "kill the terrorists before they kill more Americans and Israelis?" Will you invite them to a party and then poison them? Will you ask them to stand up and announce their intentions so that you can identify them? What is your secret plan and why haven't we so far been able to use our vast military force to find and kill Bin Ladin even though we've spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying?

I would expect the American public to be smart enough to ignore such silly campaign slogan thinking. Just cause spinners can say it don't mean it's true.

The intellectual bankruptcy of that kind of thinking is why we have to start working on the wall building stuff and the undermining the reasons for terrorism stuff. I hope you can see that. Ed
