How do you know it isn't the right solution? If someone comes at me with a knife or a gun and tries to do anything to me, I will rip that person to shreds or die myself (and if I don't, buddy, I will personally invite you to my house to spit in my face). In my opinion, we should have sent forces to Iran and trashed those people that messed with us. We should have gone straight into Berlin and bitten Hitler's face off. Al Capone lived too long. Criminals have got to expect to be treated like the dirt that they are. If I drive too fast, I should get a ticket because there is a law against it. This has nothing to do with whether or not I think a law is right. If I sell heroin, I shouldn't even be protected by illegal search and seizure laws. This has nothing to do with rights. Criminals, by their very crimes, are saying "we don't believe in rights anymore". Fine. Those hijackers and murderers violently violated the rights of U.S. citizens. The U.S. tooks matters into it's own hands and is doing something about it. You ask what the implications of us taking action are? Ask yourself what Russia would have done in the same situation. Ask yourself what you would have done in the same situation. David Elliott tektronix!tekecs!dce "Fate is a hand that we all must play." -- The Damned
