<HTML>Don, I certainly do not consider myself a pacifist and I do consider any action taken against bin Laden and his ilk as a legitimate self deffence. The caution and cool head I am in favour of is caused by new and totally different nature of this action. The Western reliance on air attacks and "smart weapons" make most of the conflicts fought so far look almost like a spectator sport. This conflict will have to be fought in a different way and eventual outcome will not be quick or easy. The counter-terrorist operations in Northern Ireland or Spain lasted for decades and still are not resolved yet. We do have to combat terrorism but we also do have to combat a causes of terrorism so that in place of one dead "martyr" we will not create 2 new ones ready to take their place. Let me remind everybody that Ronal Reagan declared the "war on drugs" and even in this conflict
there is no victory in sight yet.
