i agree. when it comes to a direct attack on american citizens we shouldn't have to prove squat to anyone when it comes to exacting justice.

don't anyone misunderstand me. i am not suggesting we avoid waging a war on countries not directly related to the terrorist attacks because we need the world's permission. i think we should avoid war-mongering because unless done carefully it would be a strategic error.

saying that we need to get the approval of a body like the UN and we must provide evidence & arrest and try the terrorists in a global forum is something a pacifist would recommend. a nationalist like myself believes we have the right to respond with whatever force we deem necessary to protect our citizens; but that doesn't mean i think we should exercise that right if it's not strategically to our advantage.

what are you talking about?

>>That would be a stupid move- then they would know what we know, and be able to find out how we found out....they would also then know what we don't know<<

your point about taking security issues into account to make these kinds of decisions is a good one. however, not ALL information falls under this umbrella.
