< The point of all this is his holiness says defending ourselves is wrong but doesn't offer an alternative. >

No he doesn't... bombing another country isn't defending yourself.

<As far as Bush going around the world etc. Well that IS an alternative that could be debated. I would hate to wait two decades for the attacks to stop.>

It all depends on the alternative... doing the right thing long term is the only real 'right thing'... whether the attacks stop for a while or not.

<BTW just to set the record straight I believe the nuclear bombing of civilian populations during WW 11 dims anything done by terrorists today to insignificance...>

Sounds like 'turn the other cheek' isn't such a wrong alternative in that light.
