There are all too many, unfortunately.  Mr. Bormann fails to
distinguish between terrorism and defense against terrorism.
Are you saying that nations cannot defend themselves against
aggression because innocent people may be killed?
	I can understand those who say the raids are counter-prodctive
and a mistake.  Only time will tell.  But I am INFURIATED by those
such as Mr. Bormann who call such a response terrorism.  The U. S.
has sat back and taken it from Kaddafy in blood for long enough.
If only the raid jolts the Europeans out of their lethargy and
inaction, they will have a positive effect.
