"We need to make peace by killing them"...
That is a classic quote. I am sure we can promote world peace by killing people.
By the way, who did we attack after 9/11? Who was the enemy? It started out as al qaeda and Osama Bin Laden, but where is Osama? We than shifted it to Saddam and Iraq? Did Saddam attack the World Trade Center?
The majority of the hijackers were of Saudi Arabian descent and there is speculation that the Saud Arabigan government provided assitance for these hijackers at one time or another. Why did we not attack Saudi Arabia?
Also, to be naive and think you are safe now that we have attacked Iraq is very, very foolish. I don't know if you pay attention to the news, but terrorists are still around and still planning and executing attacks. I assume you saw the attacks on the Indian commuter train this year, and the attacks on the London subway system last year? It is only a matter of time before we are attacked again. We have so many veunrabilities in this country that can be exploited and the fact that we are spending 100 billion dollars on a war in Iraq instead of using that money to make our homefront safer and more secure is the very reason that there will be an attack on our homesoil again. As I said before, the gap between the first WTC attack and the second was almost 8 years....so to go 5 years without an attack and think we are safe, is just being naive to the fact that what we are doing in Iraq is actually creating more terrorist enemies with the US vs. eliminating them.

De,
Should we have just sat by and let the world be sympathetic toward us or should we have attacked the problem. If we had not done anything I can assure you we would have dealt with many 9-11's in this country alone. A terrorist will never seek peace. We need to MAKE the peace by killing them.

We
were attacked and had the sympathy and support of the entire world. That is one of the points of the article. We took that sympathy and support and have turned it into disdain and distrust. Our retaliation of 9/11 started with a hunt for Osama Bin Laden and than morphed into an illegal war against Iraq. The support we garnered from the rest of the world after 9/11 has decreased with each poor, ignorant, divisive decision Bush has made throughout the past five years. 9/11 cannot be used as the excuse for us to continue to burn bridges as for every bridge that is burned, there are a handful of terrorists plotting to do something similar to 9/11. Remember....it was nearly 9 years between the first World Trade Center bombing, and the 2nd WTC attack. For us to think we are any safer now because of what Bush has done is foolish and naive. If anything, Bush has added more fuel to the fire.

I agree insofar as the presnt violence is the failure of US diplomacy since
2000, and Clinton's failure to help bring peace to Israel?Palestine. He whpo pays the piper can call the tune...now we are prepared to sell weapons of human destruction or give them urgently so that the attcks on civilians can be more gory. What diplomacy! And we only want toi talk with friends, allies and no one we disagree with...schoolyard bullies play EXCLUDE the dark-skinned ones. Worse, target practice for US weapons of children assassination
