The whole world has seen the crime being committed. The world must now see [u]JUSTICE[/u] being done. What we're seeing now, looks more like an international lynch mob.

Any street kid has sense enough to know that if you want to look for something or somebody in a badass part of town, there are people you've gotta deal with in order to take care of business. [u]Even if it means talking politely to scumbags.[/u]

Militarily, this coalition of Western power could grind Afghanistan into a flat desert, without changing a dayum thing! There are people in parts of the world who are sufficiently misguided that they think the atrocities committed on 11 September were justifiable acts of war. Bombing Afghanistan (which can't bring a satisfactory sense of victory to any of us) does nothing to prove them wrong.

I firmly believe that certain people richly deserve to die twitching and screaming, in payment for the atrocities committed on 11 September. I believe just as firmly in the importance of serving up that just punishment to [u]only[/u] those people who deserve it.

This isn't even remotely like the aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. At that time everyone knew who the enemy was, and where to find him. These guys lived among us for years, in various European counties, here in Canada, and in the USA. There are more of them, for sure.

Just how does anyone think a massive military assault on Afghanistan is going do anything to eradicate the evil of terrorism?
