How do you strike back "morally"? Obviously people like this are not going to
just give up.

Make no mistake, this is war. The only way to deal with terrorists is with
terror. That may seem harsh but if we want to do something against terrorism
it must be done in a cold, calculated, and completely thourough way.
Also with this being war we have to accept the fact that when we attack the
terrorists they will fight back. That means more civilians will probably die.
That said, if we do nothing mosre civilians will die anyway.
I personally don't want my son growing up with this, if it means all out war to
protect us from this sort of thing than so be it. I will also say that if you
put one of the people involved with this in a room alone with me only one of us
would come out alive.
I would not have said things like this 2 days ago but today I feel like the US
is at war. I am ready for war and I hope the rest of you can be ready for it
too because this won't be a short war. This won't go away anytime soon and it
may get worse before it gets better.
