You frag 50 terrorists. In the eyes of their people, they become martyrs. Let's say on average each has 3 children, now you have 150 children growing up with fervently hatred for America and another 200 are inspired to die for their cause against "The American aggressor."...these will be the terrorists of tomorrow.

.

These people are a cancer to the free world.

They need radiation treatment.

Wow. You guys are nuts. You have no idea what we're up against. Ever study the fall of Rome?

What do you think would be better...

Targeted, overwhelming, surgical strikes to kill confirmed terrorists and their leaders where ever they are.

Or...

Invading a nation without confirmed evidence justifying war, toppling it's government, funding it's rebuilding, and institute a weak government that will fall to the internal pressures of citizens who sympathize with the terrorists?

Fighting a superpower is like fighting one bear, you wound it, bring it to it's knees and kill it. This is more like fighting a swarm of killer bees. You cannot kill every killer bee on the planet. You can only attack recognized hives and insulate your property. If you see a hive on your neighbor's property, warn him and assist him with the removal.

discussing this any further with you, would be the equivalent of beating my head on the floor, since you only value the ideas you have, god bless you, be safe, and enjoy the freedoms i and my fellow patriots have afforded you, peace out, dt

Saddam was a loose canon, a Hitler to his own people. Bush did right.

We had to do something and that something was better than nothing.

War was justified on 9-11-01, that was evidence enough.

I believe that which ever candidate will boost domestic security measures, especially in relation to our boarders and any immigration activity from the Middle East or any know terrorist haven would be the best candidate. I'm not for spreading our military extra thin with unsustainable missions in a time like this.

Patriots? Like I'm not a patriot. Divded...I served as a 19K (M1 Tank Crewman) and 91B10 (Combat Medical Specialist). I assure you I'm just as patriotic as you are. I'm just trying to illsutrate that this is more complicated than merely "frag 'em."
