First of All, -My Respects and Condolences to the Two Emergency Services Personnel Wrongly Killed by Somebody.

Now Concerning your Good Points as you've Raised.

Yes, on Many to All of Them! And They're Quite Fair Points. But I Don't Think All of the Terrorist and Etc Suicide Bombing is Out of Defense!

If we are More or Less in the Right, As we in the West Generally Are, (Except for Areas of Moral Slippage in my Opinion!),-

*And* We're Fighting for our Very Survival!; -

Then I would Gladly Use What Superior Weaponry and Resources as we Have! To Return to your Quote, -This is War! I'm Sorry if That's a Bit Too Hard for our Al Qaida or Other Enemies!

The Taliban incidentally Had a Chance to Avert an Invasion of their Country, I'll Remind. They Did Not Avail Themselves of It! They Had a Decision to Make. And They Decided on War! However Unfair or Lopsided it May have Been!

As Afghans, it was the Taliban's "Country". But as to Osama and the Many Other Arabs and Non-Afghan Foreigners Present, -Their Country it was Not! They in Fact, Effectively Took Over the Afghan Country. -As to Who Took Over One's Country!

It was They who Threw the First Warlike Punch!, on 9-11. So as to Who Started the War!....And Brot War Upon Themself!....

I Know that a Superior and Stronger Country can Feel They're in the Right! Whether or Not They Actually Are! The British Redcoats Felt that They were in the Right, as Much as any Patriot Did! That German U Boat Commander may Well Have Thot His Side to Be in the Right, as his British Captor may Have Also Felt! Assuming They were Such Individuals. Others of course are "Just" Doing their Duty. Point is, Anyone on Both Sides can Feel They're in the Right!

But Sometimes, -One Side to Some Degree or Another, -Really Is! Except for in my View Some Areas of Moral Slide and the Like, -We in the West These Days Quite to Very Much Are!, In an All Round Right.

So I Understand from Their Perspective their Wanting to Fight like Modern Day Rebels against we the Modern Day Redcoats!

"But Too Bad! This is War! And you Guys Have Thrown the First Punch! We Are in a General All Round Right. And You're at Least Largely in Quite a Wrong! You Do Want to Kill!, -U.S. / Us! And We Are in a Fight With you for Our Very Survival!"

So Against These Backdrops, -I of the Free World West, -Am Gonna Use All the Superior Weaponry and Tactics as I've Got!

And They're Not Gonna "Nicen Down" Any of Their Advantages! Why Shud we "Nicen Down" Ours!? (Not that you Feel Such, and I'm Not Saying you Were.)

We Yankee Rebels may have Shot from Behind Trees, in our Own Defense! Against the World's Then Great Power! We May Well Have been somewhat Less Than Noble of Ourselves too!

But the Modern Day Suicide Bombers, -Even by Their Own Self Justification and Logic, -Don't Always Do so in Defense! And even What Such of Theirs, is a Defense to them, -is Nevertheless an Offense to U.S.! Including to Innocent, Non-Combatant Civilians!

You've Raised some Good Points. But I just Wanted to Respond, and Share with you, What I Feel to be some Good Counterpoints.

Suicide Bombers?,-A Long and Short of It, -Is that we're Gonna Have to Fight Them and Win!, in Any Event! These are the Likes of Who we Now've Got to Fight!

So America!, -Quit Michael Jacksoning Around and Stuff!, -and Get Down to the Business of your Very Survival!

This is Not Something you can just Bip Around a Bit on! And Then just Go Home!, -When you Get a Little Uncomfortable or Tired! Or When the Short Term Starts Mergeing into the Long Term!

Put Frills like Mike Jackson on the Shelf for Awhile! Or Hopefully and Better Yet!, -For Good! We've Got Better Things to be Doing!, -With the Very Defense and Survival of our *Own* Country Right Now!, -Than the Likes of That! [color:"black"] [/color] [email]aardwolfe[/email]
