Lots of patterns can match to lots of things. Life comes in fragments, we
must not be so quick to judge.

Righteous emotionalism aside, what are our options, really? I don't think
as a nation that we feel sitting back and taking it is one of them. We do
have to respond, the question is how. I don't think we should just bomb
something. We've bombed things before, and it doesn't really do anything.
In Powell Doctrine terms there's no military objective to bombing things,
it's just political speech.

I don't think it's comparable because a lot more killing happened before
Hiroshima, on both sides. I can't see Hiroshima as "retalliation" for Pearl
Harbor. What I can see, is that bombing WTC/Pentagon is a modern Pearl
Harbor. But who's the enemy?

I seriously feel that religious leaders should make a stand of what is right
or wrong. then again, the spiritual leaders are usually the leaders of
terrorists cells :(

Any person or country that supports Terrorism. Bin Laden should be under
arrest already...Arafat for failing to control the *** in the West Bank
should be held as a conspirator. Countries such as Afganistan and Pakistan
for supporting Bin Laden should be militarily crippled. Syria for letting
the Bekaa valley be a haven for terroism. Iraq for funneling funds to
terrorsists. The list could go on and on....Cut off Terrorism at the head,
at the feet and everywhere in between.
