So u want us to go out in an all out war on terror infrastructure? Just like the mythical 'war' the west is waging? An eye for a eye example for Israel..is that helping them? Are not bombings and death continuing? Not to mention the outrage it is cauing across the more peace keeping people..
I agree with you on the point you mentioned on what our government should do to protect our people..but the problem lies on how to effectively scope this operation. Who decides who is a terrorist and who is not? Who looks at the evidence before the orders are sent out? Mistake in those matters will cause more pain and prejudice than anything else.
Even Superman will protect only when the situation demands it. Even he does not proactively pursue criminal elements unless he catches them in the act..lets not fuel the wrong emotions during this fragile time. Anger is a fire which if not given a proper direction will engulf us all.
