I think there are much better ways to resolve the thing. I really hope they find a peaceful solution. But I don't believe that rolling over at this point is a viable option. It just leaves too much open. The US created this mess, I think they need to be there in some form to stablize the place. You can't have it both ways.

I'm sorry, but I think you did miss his point. He was being sarcastic; he quoted all of the "facts" that the media has provided us and showed how they contradict. You know, the same media sources that call themselves "fair and balanced."
Obviously we can't give in to terrorist demands; it would demonstrate that the tactic is effective and encourage them to continue. What happened in Spain is an example; bolstered by their success in Spain they will continue to create more terror.
What scares me is what would happen if they attacked a truly soft target such as our schools. Imagine the fear that would arise if terrorists deployed chemical or biological agents in an elementary school; attendance would drop immediately and confidence in the administration would be miniscule. Or worse yet, if terrorists simply arrived and began shooting.
Would America have the resolve to respond the right way, or the way the terrorists would want?
