If you notice there are some people that want to "buy " them off and not do what we must do. I don't know whether it's because they are afraid or if they just think they are going to lose "the good life" that they have enjoyed, (material things) and have the misunderstanding of how things work, and don't realize that there is no other choice we have. If we don't put a stop to it, it will only get worse until they have brought down the whole world with no hope for recovery for a thousand years. By stopping it now, sure it may get worse for a short time, but in the end, good will triumph, and mankind will go forward. Theirs is an attempt to take us all back to the times of voodoo and black magic. I'm not willing to accept that.

Its tough to describe the emotions and thoughts here in the US. Our President talks quite defiantly, but that does not fully capture the emotions of the people. It has been a very traumatic event, and the devastation to New York incomprehensible unless you have seen it with your own eyes, and then it is even more so. For this generation that void in the sky where the towers were will be a visible scar for year to come. Some of the world response just does not get it. Osama and his people want war and will have war. His people are in the millions and spread throughout many countries. The US can certainly escalate the situation, but our actions will not be the cause of war. It has already started. Osama waits our response. If we do not respond he will attack again, even worse. When we do respond he will attack again, even worse, and in volume. No matter how Osama is taken, that will cause escalation. It is a very scary time, and will remain so until the world can no longer handle the sorrow. That threshold may be very high. The quickest path to victory requires the efforts of all allies, for Osama can not battle all fronts. A splinter in the coalition, the thought that the US response causes the escalation, as is already being voiced by some, only serves to elongate the trouble we face.
