Iranian President Muhammad Khatami feels "deep regret and sympathy with the victims." Afghan Foreign Minister Wakeel Ahmed Mutawakel denounces "this terrorist attack." Libya's Moammar Gadhafi is "shocked," as is Palestinian strongman Yasser Arafat, who also had himself photographed donating blood. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stands ready "to present any kind of assistance you may require at these difficult moments." Syria's Bashar Assad proposes a global effort "to eradicate terrorism in all its forms." And Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque expresses his country's "absolute rejection of acts of terrorism, wherever they may come from."

To me the ONLY appropriate price is to fire all of them. Do this by invasion of their countries, occupation and the institution of a NATO-led military government.

Nothing short of this is going to stop this menace. They've drawn first blood yet again.

Time for US to end it.

"Yasser Arafat, who also had himself photographed donating blood." 1. We want more than you are willing to give, scumbag. 2. Yasser's version of Bubba's aspirin factory bombing.... change the subject, be seen doing something "good".

Isn't that the most bizarre thing you've ever heard--or seen? The, er, "similarity" is most uncanny!

Yes, where most terrorist acts have all kinds crawling out from under their rocks to claim credit, here they are running away like scalded dogs.

They will pay. The FBI has acted like the FBI for a change and is on the trail. We will know who did this.

President Bush has big brass gonads that clang when he walks. He is just waiting to find out who is responsible.

Then he will do what has to be done.

"Dictators who for decades have given express or tacit support to terrorism, and given voice or platform to rabid anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism, now find the giant they thought was sleeping has been furiously roused. So they scurry and cower."

They can try.................but it's too late. Nowhere to hide now.

REAP it, you bastards.

Y'know, this attack was years in the making; I can't help thinking the planners had expected AlGore to be Pres.

Maybe they miscalculated the US response because of this; they thought they could kick the cur--but when it rose up, it was an angry lion!

Our leaders have no intentin of doing "what needs to be done". This should be obvious to all. The same media that had no compunction about pouring images of burning children from VIet Nam into our living rooms are at this moment self censoring photos from NYC. Images of Americans jumping from falling buildings to certain death, images of scattered body parts on Lower Manhattan. Yet should our response cause the bending of one small flower in the Middle East, you can bet your ass that our media will have a billion copies of that image on our front pages and in the first seconds of the evening news. Unfortunately, we may have to respond to terrorists by forming terrorists of our own. Individuals financed, trained, and equipped by other individuals who "do what has to be done" is SPITE of our leadership.
