When you say that it's time our foreign policy must be changed, I am not following you. What is it about our foreign policy that you think should be changed? Do you think that our Government should aquiece (sp) to every fringe fraction that demands that we do what they wish? While I don't think that retaliation against a country that turns out to be incidental to these terrorists activities, such as Canada where they believe (I think that's the current theory) they entered the U.S. from, I think it's an entirely different story for the countries that harbor them, provide a safe haven, financial and other support. In those cases, IMO it's mere lip service by the ruling government that they have nothing to do with them. If they truly had nothing to do with them, they wouldn't provide them with any of that. And you may be right that retaliation begets retaliation. Then it continues to the proper end, that of the eventual removal of the entire group of terrorists from the role call of humanity. I don't think that the maniacs will be missed, except by other maniacs. Didn't the world learn that appeasement is a dead end, already? IMO-It's time, well past time for the world to unite and to eliminate the problem so that the rest of us can move on to a brighter and better future.

It's time to reconsider our foreign policy objectives and overall policy IMHO in order to avoid scenes like yesterday. If you think you can fight terrorism and eradicate it without reassessing and changing our foreign policy IMHO all you are doing is endangering more lives of US citizens by driving more people to take up such terrorist attacks. Its time to put a bomb down all terroists throats. Like Regan did to Kadafi. Kadafi got out of the terrorism business real quick after that. Its time to go after all the leaders. If you will notice the leaders NEVER put their life on the line for their "cause". That`s because their "cause" is not what they preach. But their cause is to maintain their POWER with their followers. As a matter of FACT. The attacks on the U.S. has done MORE damage to the palistine people hope for a state of their own,than the people who oppose that state could have ever hoped for.
