This massive terrorist attack is an act of war upon the United States of America. The question becomes, "Who do we declare war on?"

After Pearl Harbor, the answer was clear: Japan. Hitler cleared up any differences of opinion regarding Germany by declaring war on us.

Now, the finger pointing will begin. Some will blame Osama Bin Ladem and want to make war on Afghanistan. Some will blame the Palestinian Authority and demand that it be destroyed. Some will claim that this was a plot by the Israeli Mossad to lure the USA into a war against the Palestinians just as Winston Churchill and FDR allegedly allowed Pearl Harbor to be surprised in order to get the USA into WW II. Some will blame narco-terrorists getting revenge for the extradition of Ochoa. Some may blame Lybia. Some America-haters will blame stray missles for a U.S. Navy ship.

Sorting all of this out may take months and even then, the responsible party may not be identified with certainty.

So, right now, we have no target that we can carpet bomb by B-52's.

However, one thing we can do, right now, is to get control over our borders. American citizens have a First Amendment right to hate America and publicly proclaim it from every corner. The foeriegn-born are here by the magnanimity of America.

It is time to start getting choosy about who is allowed to move to America or stay here. A one year moratorium on immigration would be a good place to start. During that year, the status of individuals with Green Cards should be reviewed. Those individuals who have engaged in conduct or speach that prove a hatred of America should have their Green Cards revoked and they should be sent back where they came from.

Before anyone says I am anti-immigrant, I will say that I am an immigrant. I am also a retired U.S. Naval officer and, during my years of active duty, I was stationed across an active minefield separating me from my former country and I was fully prepared to go to war with my own former country if the balloon went up.

This is war. As I was typing this post for another thread, I saw the collapse of the World Trade Center on live TV. The death toll today will easily exceed that of Pearl Harbor.

Wartime situations require wartime remedies.

There is only one terrorist that has the resources to do this - Bin Laden. As I type, the Taliband is denying that they or Bin Laden had anything to do with this. BULLSHIT!!!

The United States should give Afghanistan 24 hours to hand him over or find themselves in a state of war with the U.S.! At the very least, any and all assets of that country should be seized.

And last, but not least, we should place a bounty on the head of every known member of every mideast terrorist organization - and make sure that the dollar figure is high enough to tempt even the the most loyal wannabe zealot/terrorist.

One more thing. All military and other aid to all Islamic nations should be ended immediately and diverted to Isreal. These terrorists do this in order scare us into dropping our support for the regions only democracy. We need to let them know that it will not work, and in fact will only cement that commitment.

This Was An Act Of War! We need to treat it as such. All arab nations bear some degree of responsibilty for this because of their direct and indirect support of these groups over the years.
