Knee-jerk pacifism Berkeley is struggling with a new kind of war. For some, dissent is lodged in long-held pacifist beliefs. For others, it's more muddled. University of California-Berkeley philosophy professor John Searle, author of a well-known account of student riots, spoke against the Vietnam War back in the mid-1960s. Yet today he talks of ``a certain knee-jerk pacifism of which Berkeley has always had its share.'' ``The whole moral equation is totally different now,'' Searle said. ``People opposed to today's war are opposed on rather unintelligent grounds, thinking that this bombing will somehow lead to a greater scope. People are out there planning to kill us. It's ridiculous to think we can lay down and let them.''

Yes I did, and I'm glad they got rescued safely. We should be braced to expect more accidents like that before this is over. I sure hope the price we pay for destroying the terrorists network is as low as possible....

The elevation of much or the operational area is over 10,000 feet. There is a problem of lift and icing condition in fall and spring conditions. Another is the second one. In the case of rescue or extraction more risk is taken and failures will be more likely. Seems very obvious to me. tom watson tosiwmee

Obviously we should believe the Taliban instead of our own military. After all the Taliban's record for telling the truth is impeccable and we know they are the most moral and ethical of people. And of course we all know that te only person more trustworthy and ethical than the Taliban is Osama, himself. Yeah and don't forget Sadam who never lies and only has a few nasty habits like gassing and starving his people. Little joe
