I will say it again. We are in World War III and we do not yet realize it or its implications. What the events of September 11, 2001 have given us is a choice of possible strategies most if not all of which lead to a war of the entire Muslim world against the West. If we do nothing or delay too long it will recruit more Muslims to the cause. If we strike back hard it will recruit more Muslims to the cause.
Something in the middle seems the way to go but there are no guarantees. Any strike will cause a reaction. The longer it is delayed even by mecessary logistical planning and support the more "outragous" the Muslim street will see it.
Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
