<HTML>With over 5000 American dead, all but 200 of these, civilians, I cannot see the American people being satisfied with a few "well chosen targets" or even the deaths of a few hundred terrorists.
Afganistan must be errased from the map as a national entity, the government obliterated, its officials killed or imprisoned, and its territory divided and ruled by a consortium of western powers.
Anything less will only result in more bloodshed.
We must make it clear to all nations that terrorists of any stripe - whether Irish, American, Palistinian or Arab - are a larger danger to the countries that protect them than they are to the countries they target. By making an example of Afganistan, we can enlist the aid of the Iranians, Iraqies, Palistinians and Lybians in ferriting out and destroying every terrorist organization in the entire world!!! Terrorists will become pariahs in their own country.
If the Nato and its friends (including it seems - in this case - Russia and China) are serious, organized terrorism can be anihilated as a threat within less than a decade.
