As I said we understand just fine, and we're going far too easy on them.

You're just like the other guy. Lamely fail to address the main point. And where did you get the idea that I'm advocating for an attack on civilians? Huh? I'm trying to point out that things are not as simple and black and white as some would like to believe (or have us believe). Are we going too easy on them? Maybe. But we're in a bad situation. How to identify terrorists from ordinary civilians? If we go around killing a lot of innocent civilians, isn't that going to breed more hatred of Americans and more terrorism? Fear of being killed clearly doesn't stop terrorist.
I don't have the answer. Just trying to point out that it's a complicated situation where easy knee jerk reactions (like "just bomb the fuckers") don't acomplish anything, in fact probably make the situation worse. Remember, like another poster said, this is not an easy to identify nation that we're attacking, it's a loose group of people. The rules of warfare don't fit very well here.
And no one has addressed my original point, would you resort to terrorism if your American way of life was being taken away from you and you had no other weapons?
