Don,

Unfortunately, a lot of people feel as Osama bin Laden does.  It has gotten to the point, turned the bend and no turning back, where talk does not work.  At least not with these factions. He has been openly declaring war on the U.S. for years.  He and his followers want nothing less than to see Americans wiped off the face of the earth.  I don't see where responding with less is going to save us.  Wishing it weren't so is not going to change the way it is...we can disagree and have different viewpoints on religion, economy, government, culture, etc. but that shouldn't be answered with death and destruction.  Which is the only answer these terriorists factions seem to have for us.

At least here we will catch and prosecute the low-lifes that would do that.  I personally take a very dim view of that when or where it happens.  I think that is a difference between us and this Laden pig.  Just because you don't have all the facts yourself doesn't mean the Presidents boys don't.  He is a known sponsor and  trainer of those murders so he is a good one to get anyway.  The world won't be any sadder if bin Laden is gone.  Justice will be served one way of the other.  I getting tired of people treating this issue as though it is a case in the US for murder where one lowlife kills someone else.  It is much more than that and requires possible a bending of the rules, we just might have to assassinate someone one day.

I was in a local business establishment a couple of days ago and when checking out a lady of the Moslem religion came up behind me to do the same.  I turned and looked at her and she looked unsettled.  Both I and my wife smiled at her and her whole demeanor changed.  I wish more people would at least do that much.  By the way these same things happen to Japanese Americans at the on set of W.W.II and they and we survived.
