The idea that we need to appease the bastard (and make no mistake, that's exactly what the "we need to find out what bugs him and then stop doing it" mantra boils down to) is nothing more than a way to encourage the bastard to push us even further.

Yes, if our country doesn't deserve to be attacked by the bastard -- and we don't -- then the only fault of our country and it's forereign policy is that we didn't appease the bastard enough. That is the argument that some here on this thread make.

The argument is actually different. You know that if you walk at night in a bad neighborhood, you can get mugged. Is that appeasement?

I say bomb the hell out of Osama and various terrorists. AND don't walk in the bad neighborhood without a good reason to do so.

Simple cause and effect.
