But we need to make sure "all else has failed". >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Strikes me that "all else has failed" the minute militant Islamists fly commandeered aircraft into the World Trade Center. How many times do you think we should "turn the other cheek?"

Having lived through the Second World War, I am entirely cognizant of what happens when one appeases those who threaten to destroy you. It causes a much larger war eventually. Should Britain and France have confronted Hitler sooner? Of course. And if they had, the war would have been over before it began. Its far better to act early than to be timid and wait until its too late. The time to put a stop to what is occuring is now. Not later, after a lot more people have died. We know what they aim to do. The time to put them out of business is now.
