This 'war on terrorism' will only create more terrorists, and increase the influence of the Taliban in the region. That is not a solution, it is a bloodbath.

Why do people constantly invoke 'dead children' as some sort of a defense against doing what's neessary?? But, since we're on that vein, what about all the now orphaned children in NYC, and DC?? What about the widows and widowers. The families bereaved in my country and yours?? What about them???
BTW...how does a response a month in the planning, set up, and execution amount to 'bloodlust'? This is a thought out, reasoned, planned response. It hit specific targets, and engendered specific results. Yes, I'm sure that some people died, but really...all of the people of Afghanistan have known for 4 weeks that we are planning on attacking. UNLIKE THE VICTIMS IN NYC AND DC!!! They have had plenty of opportunity to flee. Anyone left isn't an innocent. They are knowingly residing in a war zone.
EDITTED for spelling. It goes to hell when I'm tired.
