Sure ... I fully support this.
And I agree that america HAS to react.
The only difference is HOW they react.
(german and austrian TV quote people very close to bush, that he wanted a
huge bombing attack days ago.)
Thanks god this did not happen.
Because now the brains are a bit clearer, and people see clearer.
Even Bush does not speak soooooo much about revenge, he took the word
justice in his mouth.
This definitely is good.
A democratic country liek america, does not need revenge.
But they sure need to hunt down the responsible persons.
At the moment the whole world is behind him, and supports him.
He would by a big ***** to risk it by taking premature actions, which would
not hit the target.

And europe will help.
But europe would be very disappointed if scape-goats would be bombed in
order to show americans on CNN that revenge has been taken place.

yes
SE> I do not think our motive will be revenge, but rational self-defense.
In the first speeches I have seen from bush, nearly every 2. word was
revenge, this shocked me, and huge parts of europe.
Revenge is allways a bad motive.
and it would cause the wheel of terror to continue to spin.
SE> I feel very strongly about this and so do most Americans.
and so do most citizens of the world.
They were all shocked by it ... deeply shocked.
In vienna there are piles of flowers near the US embassy ... and so are at
many other us embassies throughout the world.

The sad thing is that the PRESIDENT reacted so, too ...
Thanks god that he has calmed down. (or that his spin doctors/ other people
of the government have calmed him down)
He has whole europe behind him at the moment.

This is only a part-time solution. (as sad as it is)
As long as the problems behind this attacks are not found/cured, they are
likely to happen again. (sad but true)
