"Carpet bomb the whole offending nation into a parking lot and then charge a fee to park. "

With 5 televisions, normally allocated for all things sports tuned into every news station available under the cable umbrella, broadcasting the horrific images from New York City and Washington, the mood understandably turned hostile. We all agreed that we, as Americans, wanted blood. Smoking crators, baby. Carpet bomb the whole offending nation into a parking lot and then charge a fee to park. The entire bar almost enlisted. Damn "them". How dare "they".

Well, once I sobered up and really looked at "who" attacked us and why it changed my mind about parking a Trident Sub in the Arabian Sea and lobbing 100 fully loaded ICBM's at "them". America was Attacked by an Ideology not a country with borders. Of course, there are "renegade" countries that harbor these fanatical terrorists and perhaps promote their causes. However, as a people, when you are poor, hungry and uneducated it is historically easy to have a fanatical leader place the blame of your fate on someone else. We have seen this within our own borders.

Do I want justice? Damn right I do. There is a huge bill that someone is going to pay and pay they will.

Launching an attack upon any country that doesn't even have paved roads with the most technologically advanced weapons of war will not solve this threat to America. Do I agree with the bombings? Damn straight I do. Will it be a short-term fix? Yes.

Are we the world's most powerful country, both economically and militarily? Yes. Bar none. Once the murderers are erraticated, we can change this anti-American sentiment with food, education and the opportunity to better ones self. This is everything that America stands for.
