>> Seeing 7,000 innocent civilians die does have that effect. The realization that thousands of children will never see one or both of their parents also has that effect. The thought of 300 fireman racing up 110 floors with the intent of saving lives, only to die when a second aircraft explodes with the power of 1/20th of a 10-kiloton atom bomb also will cause a rational person to want the US to retaliate. << i understand where you're coming from but my point is not that we don't retaliate, but that we use reason. for example, i think it's far wiser to back the northern alliance into toppling the taliban rather than just firing off a bunch of cruise missiles or occupying afghanistan with american troops. i never said we shouldn't get the bastards who perpetrated these acts of terror. i'm saying we shouldn't play into the hands of people like bin laden who want us to enrage the entire muslim world so he can have his jihad.
