We are not going to change things by turning the other cheek Travis. This country must respond, and respond quickly and with finality. The sons and daughters, and parents and grandparents of those thousands who perished in New York City on Tuesday, September 11th, 2001 must not also be sacrificed in the sentimiments of "not showing their hatred" for the enemy. Make no mistake... bin Laden and his supporters, and terrorists like Sadam, and Abdel-Rahman who is currently in jail for mastermiding a plot to bomb the UN and other sites around Manhatten in the early 1990's, are enemies of this country.

If some innocent citizens of the far-east are casualties of any response this country takes in retribution, I'll not rejoice in the streets as those Palestinians in East Jerusalem have ... nor will my children or grandchildren rejoice.
