I have to say that "punishing the evil-doers" sounds like something out of grade school, though. That phrase has been driving me nuts as well....somebody has to give him some synonyms for terrorists. Slacker

Thomas, We'll see, after he actually does something. If you don't think the president and many leaders of the country have already "done something," you probably never will. Leaders lead. Skeptics like you like to sit back and criticize. Of all the things that have happened over the last week, surely you can come up with something more important to contribute than criticizing a turn of the phrase. Maybe not. --Mike Buckley

cTM-H, I have to say that "punishing the evil-doers" sounds like something out of grade school, though. It's tough, but try real hard to remember that the USA, not to mention a worldwide audience looking on, consists of at least 280 million people from all backgrounds, cultures, and various proficiencies with English. The idea is to communicate EFFECTIVELY with the greatest number of Americans, quickly. I think you're pretty smart, and I appreciate your often-times logical approach. But remember, even if you don't like the term "punishing evil-doers", he's not talking to you, he's talking to the country at large. ca@how'dyouliketobePresident,rightnow?.FYI
