What makes us think, while we are making our plans to go-get-'em, smoke-'em-out-of-their-holes, not-stop-until-we-eradicate-this-evil, that their organizations and the countries that harbor/encourage/fund them will sit back and wait for us to come? We know that some of those countries have nuclear capabilities, some have biological/chemical capabilities- if they fear or even, God forbid, desire a world conflagration, wouldn't it be more likely they would try to get us before we even land on their soil?

Perhaps the only way to avoid total chaos is to meet with ALL the civilized world and have everyone of the nations agree on the unacceptability of terrorism as a tool for change and together notify every one of the nations that do not subscribe to this view that they will be isolated and ostracized until they surrender to it.

And then, maybe we in the western world can explore the reasons for the despicable measures that have been taken.
