I'm concerned we're making the same mistake we have in the past. We have gone out of our way (dropping food, letters etc) to show the people of Afghanistan that our beef is not with them. WHile this is true I believe it's also a sign of weakness. Somebody needs to made an example of in a big way. For weeks I have felt that the way to do this would be by connecting the dots back to Saddam. By doing this we can accomplish several goals. 1) We can bomb a place that still has something to lose. 2) We can remove Saddam from power 3) We can use a level of brutality that I believe needs to be used. We need to quit fooling ourselves about the "Moral War" BS. War is about death and destruction - period. That death and destruction should rain down on the countries that supported this and THEIR PEOPLE!
