Okay, what's the problem here? Are these people incapable of understanding the situation, or are they willfully rejecting the only viable solution?

A nominally sovereign nation harbors the man we hold responsible for Black Tuesday. That man has all but admitted to the deed, and enough circumstantial evidence links him to the deed that we wouldn't need a confession from him anyway. The harboring nation refuses to hand him over, and has made a slew of incredible, mutually contradictory excuses for it. So we have to go in and get him ourselves.

But to send an armed man across another country's borders is an act of war, the oldest in the book. So it doesn't do to send a federal marshal. We have to send the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines, the Boy Scouts and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir if need be. We have to make war, as wholeheartedly as we know how.

Is there anything about this that the average six-year-old couldn't grasp? That the average non-Muslim six-year-old couldn't grasp?

Some of them just toe the party line without really thinking, but many are eager to explout the atrocity to gain points on Jews and other infidels and hope that the terrorized West will finally address their "grievances" (make geopolitical, political and cultural concessions). What they do not understand is that such attitude will only enrage the Westerners and cause more "grievances" for the Muslims
