Hi JDN,

Thing is, the Marines would probably end up getting bogged down in a long drawn out hand to hand combat situation in the ruins of Afghanistan. It wouldn't be clean and surgical like Desert Storm, so I doubt it would happen. J6P wants some 'big planes' to go out and blow things up in this kind of situation, and I just don't think it will be the answer. Guess we will see. Sad day in America though.

Best regards,
John

<<I want the Marines sent in to root out the government and root out those terrorists and HANG EM right on the spot. Preferably on international TV>>

Yes, very sensible. Someone hits you in the mouth, you want to hit them back. You figure they're not like you, they'll just lie down after being hit in the mouth. Does that make sense to you? Do you feel much like laying down? Won't they just want to hit us again?

We're supposed to be the civilized ones, we should remember that when we respond.

Here's a pretty good article on the subject: Terrorists Are Made Not Born
