I think what some of us are trying to get at is that there's different
ways of going about getting rid of terrorists. Your method centers
around a willingness to go to all-out war to take down the dozen or
so people who were behind this. Some of us feel that this solution
is both overly drastic in the short term and effectively counter-
productive in the long-term.
We have different ways of dealing with what happened, and we think
that War just won't solve our problems. Levelling a whole country
just won't solve our problems. So we suggest other ways of dealing
with the terrorism. Subtler ways, for sure. Ways that aren't
nearly as immediately satisfying as being able to gaze out on
the twisted wreckage of your enemies, but they're ways the we feel
will be more effective in bringing down the terrorists. Of bringing
about the justice we want. And again, we feel that the extremes
you're suggesting will even work AGAINST those ideals.
It's not that we've somehow forsaken our national identity, it's
not that we've somehow given in to this threat. We just have
different methods and think that a full-out War is every bit as
horrific as the event that might yet start that War.
