Haven't you been paying attention to the news? We *are* taking care of
whatever terrorists are here in America; that's what the FBI is for. The
great thing about our American government is that, like a good computer,
it can *multitask* and do more than one thing at the same time! So while
the FBI is investigating terrorists and anthrax, our military is
fighting the Taliban. (Note how I didn't say "fighting Afghanistan"
because we are *not* at war with Afghanistan. We're at war with the
terrorists *in* Afghanistan and those who harbor and support them.
There's a difference.)

And do you know *why* we're focusing on Afghanistan, hmm? You say that
we should "deal with those here IN THE US that are responsible." Well,
guess what? It's going to be rather difficult to "deal with" these
people when the remains of their bodies are scattered amidst tons of
glass and metal. To put it simply, these people have already been taken
care of, killed instantly with the rest of those airline passengers as
they slammed into buildings (or the ground in PA). Now, it's time to
take care of the people who masterminded the whole plot, who,
coincidentally, are NOT in the US, but in Afghanistan.

The rest of the American public seems to be able to distinguish between
being at war with terrorists and being at war with an entire country.
Why can't you?

And as far as sentencing goes, the attacks go *far* beyond any crime
ever committed by an American criminal. (even Oklahoma City and
Columbine put together) Not only that, but most crimes can have various
motives that can lessen the sentence and other such ambiguities.
However, the attacks of Sept 11th could only have one motive: hatred.
There is no ambiguity here; we all know who is guilty and we have all
the evidence we would ever need. The only thing left to do is convict
the criminals. For a crime of this magnitude, there can only be one
sentence: Death. And whether the sentence is carried out via a war
tribunal, or a soldier's rifle in Afghanistan, they WILL be brought to
justice. Perhaps then, we all, Americans and Afghans alike, can truly
know peace.
