<HTML>"take it up with the 82nd Airborne Division."
Frankly it is this attitude that has brought us to this juncture but lets face it, if the US genuinly wants to send Rambo in to 'solve' this problem then there's not much the rest of the world can do to stop you.
On a personal level I can fully understand the emotions behind such an attitude. I hope however, that America is better than that and that once the red mist has cleared from your eyes you will recognise the long term futility of such an approach and instead provide the leadership required to eradicate the roots of terrorism; the poverty, racism and injustice suffered by so many in this world.
For me, the choice that lies before you is stark; attempt to impose at gunpoint the supposed security of a Pax Americana upon the globe, or work instead to deliver to the whole of humanity the values you claim to uphold; democracy, civilisation and peace, themselves the very targets of September 11th.
I put it to you, in the broadest of terms, that the 82nd Airborne Division is a poor choice of means by which to deliver life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to the wretched majority of the worlds population.
