Why not?

Yes, I can. They're all people, even if they may be somewhat mis-guided.
Trouble is, Bush seems to be saying he wants to retaliate against anyone who
harbours terrorists. And how do they decide who are the terrorists and who's
helping them? Answer: They make an informed guess. They don't mind if they make
a few mistakes, thats just "collateral damage". But to the people targetted,
it's murdering innocent people, just like the WTC. And if the US can retaliate,
why shouldn't they?

How do you figure that????

things from happening, and that's something even the pacificists can agree on.
Now you've changed the discussion to "increased security"? Where did that come
from? I didn't hear anything about that in Bush's speeches.
