We should use whatever force is necessary to put a stop to this sort of thing. No more. And no less. I agree with that. I just find it unseemly to be cavalier about the damage. If GWB can take six months to deal with the ethical implications of harvesting stem cells from embryos, we can spend a respectful amount of time reflecting on the ethical implications of sacrificing the lives of persons.

We should use whatever force is necessary to put a stop to this sort of thing. No more. And no less. To an extent I agree but if you try to carefully figure the exact amount of force needed, and then ratchet it up each time its not enough you get a situation like Vietnam. Sending merely sufficent force results in more casualtees on your side and more chance for the other side to evade and recover. I believe that some special forces commander once said something along the lines that you should bring a man's force for a boy's job. Tim
