This is great but how do you suggest we "tackle the philosophical legitimacy"
of whomever did this? And how do you suggest we ensure that events such as
these never happen again without all out war?

If we do nothing they will just keep doing this as well. Sure frequency might
pick up in the short run but in the long run full scale military retaliation is
the only solution. These people are not pacificts, they are murdering bastards
and need to be treated as such.
I am sick of sitting back and letting these attacks go on and we just sit and
at best give them a pin prick. I believe that most people are good whether
Christian, Hebrew, Muslim, etc. People that use religion to support their
actions are blatent frauds. None of the scripture of the 3 religions I mention
allow for the use of suicide to get their way. Someone that uses religion as a
means to an end are idiots.
I wish we could say "Please don't do this again" and we would get an answer
like "Oh we're sorry we didn't know you would mind, we won't do it again". But
that is ludicrist. Terror must be fought with terror. All I ask is that we
are sure we know who did this before we starts the counter attacks.
