I agree with the long term, however, those who have already accepted Terrorism as their Mantra can only be dealt with through harsh reality. It doesn't matter what you think, they will never listen to reason. They don't want to negotiate. Death through spreading terror is what they seek. I say the quicker they get to Allah the better, but preferribly w/o taking innocents with them. But let's make their deaths known as their choice as opposed to an example using a contrast of aid and acceptance for all who seek change through peaceful negotiation. Afganistan and Iraq have the opportunity to prove to the Arab Muslim community that America is not their enemy. The "Palestinian Authority" needs to step up to the plate and denounce acts of terrorism. Only through genuine efforts by them can the hope to achieve peace between them and Israel be accomplished. The Arab media might consider being journalists instead of fanning the flames of hatred. The US gets blamed for our support of Israel. They should report the amount of aid coming from the US to all the Arab nations (including the percentage of our money used by the UN relief efforts), and compare it to that coming down from their own ruling families. Since the removal of Sadmned, crazy Ghadafi decided he wasn't going to harbor Terrorists anymore, gave up his WMD programs (including the nuke research being conducted by Iraqi scientists) and he allowed the UN inspectors in w/o trying to play any cat and mouse games. He got the message. Only fairness by the Arab nations can create a real peace. The USA isn't playing games anymore. 9/11 was the last straw, the call for action was answered. All of those planes were piloted by "Young Arab Muslims" who were extremists brainwashed by Fundamentalist propaganda. Unless the Arab Nations do something to stop the schools of hatred, NOTHING the USA does will make a difference. It is THEIR move. Stuntman > > I don't believe that terrorism can be defeated militarily. Terrorists can be killed by the hundreds of thousands, but there will be more where they came from. The underlying causes of terrorism must be carefully addressed. We all have to learn how to and have the desire to live together in this World. > > Keith > >
