SO true! This is the simple beauty of Bush's approach. Forget the endless debating, forget the wringing our hands and worrying about who might be offended. Simply go after them, and ask for as much support as we can get from the civilized nations of the earth.

We can only wonder what might have been if this approach had been taken years earlier, but at least now, after the harsh lessons of 9-11, we have finally learned!

Each one caught means innocent lives saved. Each one caught means there is less chance of another 9/11 event.

You're assuming that there are a finite number of "them," that we have not created "more" of them as we pursue our policies without "worrying about who might be offended."
