I disagree most strongly, sir.
These terrorist, and those who attacked the WTC previously and various embassies, have
the full support of several nations. These states provide them with shelter, money,
training and encouragement. The religious leaders and political leaders of these
countries tell them the US is absolute evil, and promise them eternal glory in heaven
if they die killing Americans. THEY have made civilian populations the target, just as
Hitler did. Giving them safety only fuels their beliefs that the US is weak, and that
God will help them to prevail if they persist in this course.
These "civilized rules of war" prevented the US from attacking the source of the
opposing forces in Korea and Viet Nam, with disastrous results for our American
troops. This time, they have attacked our civilian population. To respond by rounding
up a few of the "usual suspects" and ending it there will lead to an enormous tragedy
in this country.
