<<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. >> good points, Craig and I think the US led coalition has this as their objective. Many terrorism experts feel that one of bin laden's goals may have been to lure the US into an unwinnable large-scale conventional war against him and a few muslim countries. We may have to do this against Saddam H to get him, but otherwise, so far it appears that very specific targets need to be identified to go after. I'm amused by the "peace" protesters, who are protesting a "war' that does not even exist, which has not even started, and which may never start... it's really bizzare and funny in an orwellian way to me...
