I know what you're saying but I find little comfort in our government's
statements, filled with machismo and bravado, yet thin on addressing the
core of the issue. We'll send an even worse signal by resorting to war and
saying "America will do as it pleases now that the blood of it's people has
been spilled." So, for heaven's sake, let's go after the guilty as we said
and make no martyrs out of the innocent. After the perpetrators and
collaborators have been apprehended and subdued, we should seriously address
where our government's failures were with regard it's contribution to
frustration and hatred in much of the Arab world. As terrible and senseless
as things have been, they happened for a reason.
