There you go suprising me once again. I thought the US was the only super-power in the world. You seem to disagree.

Gee.. if we're such a superpower, then how did 19 fanatics with $500,000 in terrorist "seed capital" manage to attack the US mainland and kill 3,000 people??

One thing about being a superpower, the only place we have to go is DOWN, if we're not intent on maintaining that role and preventing tyrannical ideologies to pervade the world.

9/11 should have taught you that we can't hide from Islamo-Fascism anymore. It should have taught you that if they are bold enough to strike the US mainland proper using our own commercial aircraft, then what's to prevent them from attacking with other means, including chemical and nuclear weapons, should they suceed in getting their hands upon them??

That's seems pretty clear to me...just as "down and dirty" as themselves.

Absolutely.. if we get a 8-10 digit grid on their location, then we kill them, and don't shed a tear if we kill their families as well.

That doesn't mean deliberately targeting civilians, it means killing them REGARDLESS of the human shields that WILLINGLY surround them.

It might also mean we might be forced to kill them even if innocent civilians are in the vicinity. That would be a tragedy, but when we're at war you unfortunately wind up hurting innocent people.

It's the nature of the beast.
