One might say, taking the war to the enemy rather than hunkering down and waiting for him to kill some more Americans.

But I thought they were already here, their sleeper cells are already here, their weapons of mass destruction are already here.

If those facts are true (and I believe they are, specficially since every govt spokemans who talks about this issue says, "It's not if but when...) then regardless of what we do overthere...we will reap the whirlwind. We need to concentrate on this issue domestically and stop adventuring overseas.

"We need to concentrate on this issue domestically and stop adventuring overseas."

In order to effectively obtain national security, we need to do both!

Why kill the drones...and leave the queen?

Your reference to "adventuring", by the way, places you squarely in the third branch of parochialists, as described by Brooks.

So, you do believe that we have already been infiltrated. And, it is likely, already attacked (e.g., anthrax).

And your solution to this state of affairs is to succumb to the blackmail?

Or, at most, to disarm his thugs...but leave the blackmailer be?

That would be, you realize, only making it worse?

Think, man, think about what you've just said.
