My main concern with using a non-aggresive form of resolve is that since these people are willing to die for their beliefs (suicide attacks) that anything short of force will not do anything. Look at it this way, up til now, everything that has been tried to combat terrorism has failed. We let them take over our airplanes without objection as it was felt that would save lives. By making yourself meek and unassuming, you become the prey. I think that force is the only way to make a statement. That statement is that terrorism will not be tolerated. Bush was right that this will not be a one time conflict. I believe the words they used were right too. Terrorism is a cancer on humanity. Should we allow it to grow and fester, or should we go in there with a knife and cut it out. If we can use common sense to ensure that whatever force we use is worthwhile, ergo not attacking the host, but zeroing in on the cancer, I think we will ultimately win. Yes, there will be further attacks (terrorist), but with each attack we will learn more. Look at it another way too, should we sit by and grab peace leaves we give the terrorists time to build up further aggression. They have already shown that they aren't above hostility. It's only a mater of time . . .

What you do not realize Tobbin, is that death and destruction will make them stronger!

No, it will make them weaker. They will be using up resources and manpower. It will flush them out. Yesterday is gone. We have to prepare for tomorrow. ------------------ Protectorate of the OHF Death Waits 4 U ALL |

Some people put more faith in themselves and their loved ones, than those of a God! That does not mean we have no hope...we just choose to do it on our own. Mark |
