"I've given many warnings in my career as a manager...." As have I. However, neither of us have had to warn others who are not in our employ shortly after our facilities had been ruthlessly attacked & a number of our staff had been maimed & slaughtered. And neither of us had the responsibility or ability to take action to stop future such attacks. It seems that you simply want to talk & talk & talk & that will somehow resolve the problems. You want to use diplomacy & dialog with the worst kind of criminals, thugs & murderers as if they are going to come around to our way of thinking......... right after they hijacked our airplanes & drove them into the twin towers, the Pentagon & had a third target missed. You believe that we need to talk & talk & talk while they plan their next attack (for which they announced their intentions publicly shortly after 9/11). I won't try to debate a criminal who has just murdered my wife & now threatens others in my family. I won't turn the other cheek under those circumstances. I won't use diplomacy with ruthless, hideous murderers. I will find them & stop them before they make good on their latest threats. And if this thug has friends who give him safe haven, help him improve his ability to commit more crimes, or supply him with weapons, etc., I am NOT going to sit down over a cup of tea & talk & talk & talk. I am going to tell those who aid & abet this criminal, in no uncertain terms, to immediately cease & desist or I am going to seek them out & they too will be brought to justice. History is replete with those who relentlessly seek diplomacy with evil leaders & claim they have achieved "Peace in our time"........... only to fail miserably while countless millions end up slaughtered. I've learned from history. I believe that George Bush has too.
