No. But this isn't "fighting", this is tit for tat. There isn't a military strategy in using a 500 pound bomb to get one person. There is no reason in this conflict in the middle east.

I suppose if we didn't fight Japan till they surrendured they would not continue a further assault on the United States?

Very emotional, but i am not sure of the relevance. AQ, however Fox News would like to descrive them, are not and have never been a threat the the stability or freedom of America. As OofE put it, 9//11, 11M etc are pin pricks in the great scheme of things. Even the much feared dirtys nukes etc are not in anyway comparable to the IJN. The japs, as you know, where expanding their empire to control the pacific, AQ are not planning on invading Hawaii.

On one side you have the ideas of reason, science, capitalism, and individual rights. On the other side you have the ideas of mysticism and fascism.

Difficult to spot which side is which, lots of mysticism on both sides in Israel/Palestine.

Israel sacrificing it's land for the good of people that initiate the use of force against them is a moral crime. It is sentencing it's people to death.

They are dieing anyway, and ownership of the land is a heavily disputed issue, is it not.

They are attacking the west, not just the jews.

And noone seems to care why. And yet in this very thread is one of the reasons. In a few years time, when some of the issues behind the war on terror have fizzled out a little, then perhaps, just perhaps, people will start doing some analysis to work out exactly why they are attacking the west. But until we do that, until we stop hiding behind platitudes usch as "they hate freedom" as the sole motive that these people have, this war will continue.
