Someone has killed thousands of my fellow citizens, and is warning that more of us will be killed. I don't want to demonize them, I don't need to demonize them. What I want to do, what we need to do, is stop them. By force if necessary. Dead or alive, as they prefer. As for the rest of what you say, you're entitled to your opinion. I disagree with your conclusions. The techniques used by these terrorists are a violation of International law. Bombing military targets in wartime is not a violation of International law. It is regrettable that it is not possible to only bomb structures without injuring civilians, but it is not possible. If you want to paint a sign and march around condemning the United States for what we are about to do, in the United States no one would stop you as long as you did not trespass on private property. You can even come to Washington and do it right outside the White House, the Capitol, or the Supreme Court building. It's your right.

Plus the original point was the killing of civilians, as opposed to going up against the army or whatever... in other words everyone does it. As if the WTC attack was somehow particularily 'evil' or whatever. Like if they had a real army don't you think they'd use it? Still no one even talking about understanding the enemy, just wave a flag and step on it. I happen to think the Japan example is not a good one, because there are so many other examples of the U.S. killing innocents outside of wartime. DAK
