funny that you mention justice. i would like to see it used more in the day-to-day rhetoric (and application) of our dealings with terrorism. talking about freedom & liberty is fine, but justice is a concept central to the muslim faith. justice has strong universal appeal. so, if we make an effort to show our desire to be just, it is a very good contrast to the unjust actions of terrorists. it seems this would be one way to win over those in the arab world who don't support the actions of terrorists but sympathize some of their problem issues with the west (israel, iraq, etc.).
i'm not suggesting a large change in policy, at least not at first. but i think it would be helpful to re-examine our actions concept of justice in mind.
