They wanted to talk at the UN Conference on Racism, and first we refused to send Colin Powell, then we walked out altogether!

If it's us or them, how do we have any assurance that those we kill will actually BE them? Or do we just take an attitude of "The only good Muslim is a dead Muslim"?

Maybe Afganistan has so few resources, they won't be able to mount a very strong resistance to us. But there are a lot of Muslim countries that would not invite us in to "clean out" the terrorists, or fall over if we threatened to invade them. And of course, the terrorists, wherever they are, are not going to respond by putting on uniforms, and meeting our troops on the field of combat. They are going to respond with MORE acts of terrorism. Then what?
