> You have completely missed the point. Everybody wants the terrorists to be punished. What we don't want is other innocent people to die & be punished as will ultimately happen if a war starts.
Rach, I've heard reports that people in the streets of palesine are recjoicing. Do you think that it is just some rogue element of an obscure part of the middle east? There is an entire nation, if not more than one, who despiss us, (all for a depth of reasons too complex to even note here)... There are children to be sure, there are mothers to be sure, no bloodshed is worth any cause... But what are we to do? What else can we do given our defense policy, a massive and calculated successfull terrorist attack was perpetrated on US soil. We have litterally been forced into a position of retaliation, however you feel on that fact, this is the truth of the matter... No one says that this death is right, no death is right, but try telling that to the families of the grieving....
