"Bomb them all to damnation I say !"
Oh yes ...
this is akin to "THIS MEANS WAR , YOU BASTARD", starting another conflict, claiming another 1000 or so lives.
that would REALLY solve the situation.
Don't get me wrong, I fully condemn the events and deplore the innocent deaths.
But first of all, it is not known to which faction these terrorist were affiliated to nor do we know what their purpose was (besides a mad suicide disaster).
They may very well be affiliated to Osama Bin Laden but this not at all sure. They may also be enraged nutcases trying to damage the US by any means possible. They are extremists, whatever creed they are and should be punished.
But there is no need to start this "war talk" before all details are filled in and if Bush wants to prove to the world that he does possess any intelligence, to the contrary of popular belief, then now is the time for him to show it.
Any wild, "cowboy style" form of retaliation will most probably (and hopefully) meet the same condemnation and scorn from world leaders as the events of today.
Let's hope he has some common sense after all ...
