Sorry Straffo;
While I am sure your condolences are well meaning, they are, at best, hollow lip service. You see, what America has learned is that there is no middle ground. There is no safe route. There is no half way. There is no containment. There is no appeasment.
We, as a nation, are against terrorism in all instances and are willing to do whatever is necessary to wipe these putrid scum off the face of the earth. As our W said, you are either with us, or with the terrorists. If you (not meaning you Straffo) are with the terrorists, in any way shape or form, that means you support our enemy. If you support our enemy, you become our enemy. Our enemies will be eradicated.
So, while I appreciate your sentiment, what would be more appreciated is solid international support and real assistance in the war on terrorism. We, all of us in the free world, have to eliminate this scurge lest we eventually be eliminated!
