I think we all agree that the "terrorists" can't be bargained with, assuming we've identified the right ones. I'm not as sure about those who provide them shelter, aid and comfort. I do wish the Bush administration would make every effort to isolate the terrorists from their host communities before implementing gratuitous military action.

I'm perplexed that the Bush administration is committing itself to also rooting out all other terrorist groups who have a potential for world wide violence. What committee is going to make all those judgment calls, and I wonder what god they'll be facing come judgment day.
