<HTML>A lot of people seem very hung up on the morality of fighting "terrorism." From the perspective of moral philosophy, it might well be acknowledged that "one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter." This has paralized the minds of many - preventing them from acting with determination.

What we need to do is stop thinking of this in terms of a struggle of the free world against "terrorism" and start thinking about the matter from the perspective of self-interest.

At this time, various armies- *military organizations*- operating throughout the world, are targeting civilians who live, for the most part, in countries other than the ones in which they are residing.

Some of these miliary organizations target Americans.
Some target the French.
Some target the Chinese.
Some target the Russians.
Some target Isrealies.
And so on.....

It is in America's interest to unite with all of these countries to defeat these armies. This has nothing to do with morality! It has only to do with enlightened self interest -- I don't give a *rats ass* about how many "terrorist organizations/freedom fighters" have been funded by America in the past. This is irrelivant.

The grand aliance of nations has but one interest: to protect its citizens against these external threats. Let us all agree to join with each other and assist one another in exterminating those threats wherever they are found and whoever they might be.

Questions of morality are meaningless. America has a goal: protecting American lives and property. The best means of accomplishing this goal, is to unite with other countries and assist them in exterminating their threats as well. The danger now is too great and it must be stopped by whatever means nessisary.
