Forgiveness isn't the issue here. A strong, decisive, devastating, and

overwhelming response is what is needed. You and others are viewing the Arab

terrorists from our culture's perspective. These people aren't civilized.

They have a tribe mentality and to them, you are either part of their tribe,

or you aren't. If you aren't then you have no value, and are expendable,

without any sliver of conscience. Dealing with terrorists will have to be

different from people from a civilized country. In conclusion, if they and

their culture are exterminated, then obviously, we won't have a terrorist

threat. Last, yes, we do have a weapon in our arsenal, and it was born in

Los Alamos.

Now Steve... there is more to the Arab world than is dreamt of in these
words. But you are not alone, and that is one of my points, there are plenty
of people with your view in power on our side. The problem is not so much
the view, but the power we have behind it. We can do better.
