Yeah....we can only be very happy that the current administration has taken the right route and has dealt with EVERYTHING forcefully. I guess you would have preferred we fly the flag of surrender from the White House on 9/11?? I feel a lot of heat from your criticism, but not much light being offered from your logic. None of us wish to go to war, especially the ones who have to carry out the military operations and suffer the injury and death that results. No matter what our Foreign Policy has been over the years in the Mid-East, there is nothing we should feel ashamed about with regard to confronting and destroying the ideology of Islamo-Fascism wherever we find it. It's a regressive, imperialistic, and violent ideology that threatens to reverse decades of political and social progress (limited though they may seem to us) in the Muslim world. but NOW I only have to worry about everybody coming up to me carrying a bomb. What form of insanity do you suffer from that leads you to believe this would be any different were we not using military force? They use women because females have little social value in Arabic culture (other than to give birth and raise sons). It's not a minor point that Arabic has no word that equates to "children". They only identify their offspring by their sex (and female children only grudgingly). So daughters are expendable. Do you think that thousands of years of cultural denigration of women is going to be changed overnight, and without coercive force? Hawk
