"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." Did you ever think it might be too late already? The time to stop it may have past us by and we're already heading down that sprial....not aware of it.....just thinking with optimistic minds. Just a thought.....and I'm not being pessimistic either. Actually - you can characterize it any way you wish the question still stands a pertinent - is it too late already? Can going after these people actually spiral out of our control? Yes. What will we do then? Fight harder, kill more people, create more hate. How will this end? Don't know but randomly killing people is definitely NOT the answer.

Agreed. After much thought, I have come to the conclusion that we cannot avoid defending ourselves. However, it should be pointed out that we have likely entered the Middle East's vicious circle now, as there must be tens of thousands of children here who lost a parent to the WTC attack. I am thinking that Afghanistan will likely be a short battle, particularly if there are attacks on U.S. soil with chemical or biological weapons (see below). However, the war will be a long one, as it really is a battle between some of the poorest people on the planet against the riches ones...it's a global civil war, IMHO. T. Check this out, from CNN: "WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI has limited the use of crop-dusters amid concerns that suspected terrorists might have been plotting to use the aircraft for another attack, possibly chemical or biological, according to law enforcement sources. The FBI grew alarmed about crop-dusters after a crop-dusting manual was discovered among the belongings of a man being held as a material witness in the investigation into the September 11 terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Zacarias Moussaoui was arrested last month in Minnesota on an alleged passport violation. Moussaoui was in custody at the time of the attacks. Moussaoui apparently had raised suspicions because he sought training in flying commercial jets at flights schools in Oklahoma and Minnesota but showed no interest in learning about takeoffs or landings."
