Nope, Amos, no re-thinking required. The only way to defeat terrorists is to go after them and eleminate them. We've gone down this road many times on the Mudcat, Amos. Nothing new. Had Clinton reacted to 9/11 the way Bush did, I would have supported him.

Terrorism cannot be defeated by talking, begging, reasoning, or placating them. If anyone has a better suggestion for dealing with terrorists than elimination, I'd like to hear it.

Will innocent people be killed in the process? Unfortunately yes. The terrorist attacked us ...not we them. They declared war on us ...not we them.

If Kerry is elected, it will be the most disastrous thing to happen to the U. S. in it's history. Kerry will revert to the old democrat (read Clinton) soft approach to terrorism and that's the exact opposite of what should be done.
