>Practice dry runs in countries that house terrorists. Somehow I have a hard time picturing Boeing planes right now making practice runs over some bombed out remote areas in Afganistan, fits perfectly with the background of cosmopolitan cities like New York and Washington<g> >I think the Afghans don't have the skill to pull off the support needed. Most likely backed by Iraq, Libya, or Syria or a combination of all of them. Libya or Syria impossible (no time to tell you the reasons). Iraq possible (bombing them and embargoing(sp?) for eleven years now, you think they may be a little upset at us?). But you did not mention Pakistan. A whole lot more possible it is Pakistan than the three countries you mentioned combined. >These bastards have to fry because next time its a chemical/biological attack that could murder hundreds of thousands of Americans. I believe you are proposing the "total fry" method. If you think that will stop what you mentioned I am all for it! Consider the possibility that by executing the "total fry" method we somehow miss a lot of them or, maybe, create a lot more of them to do what you mentioned. The answer lies in changing foreign policy AND instituting a global coordinated intelligence/diplomatic/military effort against these guys and this will take years. Possible, Yes! If we dont' change our foreign policy and we institute the "total fry" method I am very afraid the "total fry" could be used against us (you know, eye for an eye<g>) >Our response has to be so overwhelming and punishing that no other country and its rulers would even think twice about killing an American or one of our allies. You are making the big mistake that these guys give a sh*t about their own lives, remember the virgins<g> >If I were ruling the country that helped sponsor this insanity I'd probably be needing to wear diapers right now. If I were Musaraff right now I'll be waiting for the phone call sipping margarita and watching Baywatch or Who wants to be a Millionaire, get real dude!
