...I don't find it {fight them there so we don't have to fight them here} morally bankrupt or intellectually dishonest ...

My words...

Morally bankrupt because this notion seems to indicate that we made the conscious decision to allow other innocent citizens to become "collateral damage" in a long shot attempt to spare our own citizens a similar fate. Try as I might, even imaging my own loved ones as terror casualties, I cannot find the moral high ground in this viewpoint.

Intellectually dishonest because it certainly would be no problem for Al Queda to spare another nineteen jihadis with box cutters. We certainly don't believe that we have them all pinned down in Iraq do we?
