>>Well, you know, you said you thought that we would in the end win this war. I think it is entirely possible that we could lose, simply because at the heart of all these things is the idea that somehow, you demonstrate your moral virture by bending over backwards to be as accommodating as you can at people who want to kill you. And that is generally not a good idea. I don't like Vladimir Putin, but when he reacted to this business with the four Russian hostages by saying that he was dispatching Special Forces on a mission to hunt down and kill the guys who did it, I did...I was very heartened at a guy who just actually sees it that clearly.<< Sdgla - After the murder of the Israeli Olympic athletes in 1972, Golda Meir made the decision to "hunt down and kill the guys who did it". History demonstrates that this did not work as a deterrent to terrorism. The idea was that people should know that it's not OK to kill jews. But they kept killing jews anyway, often in retaliation for the deaths of other terrorists. Bush wants to "hunt down and kill" all the terrorists. That's an impossible job, for starters, and a counterproductive strategy, in my opinion. - Allen
