Yes but when you consider the fate of the world, America's concerns need to be foremost in terms of terrorists right now--this is a crisis At other times it would (hopefully) be different

<I don't think America would be too impressed if other countries told them not to respond to the WTC attacks.> Other countries have, in no uncertain terms, expressed their views to the U.S. as to how and against whom we should or shouldn't respond to the WTC attacks. Admirably, there is broad-based, world-wide consensus ---> Relentlessly destroy terrorists and either destroy or reform those who harbor them, by all necessary means, whether political, financial, physical, or otherwise. The few countries that told America not to respond are those that might be on the receiving end of our multi-faceted response. The lines were drawn, and people have been given an opportunity to reflect and act accordingly. Even the Taliban. There are signs that that maybe even Pakistan got the message, and I'm hopeful that that will be proven to be true. I took the ISI shake-up, the General's news conference, and Pakistan's early cooperation to be a good sign, even if just early steps in several that need to be taken.
