Well, no not quite. US is definately not entirely to blame, we English aren't too squeaky clean (Seem to remember King Blair flying all across the world to promote "The War On Terror"). I just regard a more sensible and more united (with a few more countries behind us) approach to the problem. I realise there were quite a few who supported the US and UK, but I discount anyone who recieved "financial aid" as totally reliable (Turkey was fairly wishy-washy).
Instead of going into every country and running the risk of creating Martyr's for others to latch onto and presenting a negative image to the rest of the world. How about trying a more savvy approach (If Syria can come out with it's little gem) I am sure some of the slickest spinners in the US and UK could really start turning world opinion Before going into another country.
I wholeheartedly agree with your other point about hunting them down and killing the
terrorists, but couldn't you do it with Special Forces? I thought I read that the CIA are now allowed to authorise Assasination again? A nice quiet "Disappearance" to Osama and the rest would be clean and particulaly quiet. Or even better a "snatch" and a
quick show trial, find him guilty and shoot 'em.
