    Reading these post and seeing so many against going after the people that killed thousands of INNOCENT people. I am wondering, if it was in your hands, how do you feel it should have been handled?

    Special op's..... kill em all . :D

    Actually I think a tactic like that would have been the logical way to go. I mean as long as you can find someone, they can be eliminated.
    NERDS!

    He is not even listed on the FBI's most wanted list, because they have NO evidence against him.

    He isn't? Then who is this?

    I stand corrected. The 'if you have information concerning this man' part actually struck me as funny...
    can't believe everything I read on the interwebs.... guessing he was a late addition, cause I've read that repeatedly over the years.

    Has anyone read James Ellroys 'Underworld USA' trilogy? The man writes good fiction. I know about support for OBL and Saddam during the 80's...I have heard of the Contra scandal - Ollie North et al....G Bush Snr. as head of the CIA, Reagans/Thatchers cripleing of the iron curtain etc...I do not dispute the fact that since it's inception the CIA and various shady charachters have used money either from arms sales or narcotics (or united fruit shares) to fund illegitmate right of centre coups around the globe. But behind the iron curain and still behind the bamboo curtain, and other countries freedoms are severly curtailed, people in china and north korea go under attempted brainwashing daily in prison camps...women are mistreated and looked on a second class citizens all over the world...let me get something straight - I am not a muslim hater, but criminal/terrorist acts are a threat to public saftey...even when you cannot trust you own agents (looking back to the pre-christmas jordanian double agent who executed the CIA agents)...what can our respective governments do? Pull out? and leave a vacum where chaos would reign. Comparisons with WW II are unrealistic, imagine if we had had the media coverage we have now back then...everything instantly known...in the end greece fell, rome fell, and the british empire was disbanded. Hands up who would like sharia law imposed in USA/UK? Being stoned for adultery or belonging to another faith. Thank God we live in a relativly free society. And the taliban controlled 9/11 afganistan, funded (through heroin) terrorism, and believe it or not there are people out there who would like to see the US, europe and isreal wipped off the map
    How I choose to feel is how I am...I will not lose my faith, It's an inside job today.

    You're both right in this. He is on the list, but he IS NOT listed for his involvement in the 9/11 attacks because of lack of evidence linking him to it.

    not an ''Act of War"

    there's a difference between an "Act of War" and an "Act of Terrorism". war is waged by a Government, terrorism is waged by groups or individuals not directly responsible to a Government.

    how would you apply this to hamas? just curios...
    well as with everything, it is a general rule and there are exceptions. the same way the American and Israeli governments are involved in terrorism. the major difference is that war is organised violent conflict, while terrorism by definition is more random.. perhaps to achieve similar goals, just different techniques.
