I like the idea of eradicating the terrorists. I dont like the idea of killing innocent people in Afghanistan. What can you do? I don't want to say it is payback but there are some things that have to be accepted to reach a goal. Relations have been fucked for a long time because US interests change. This is nothing new and perhaps needs serious improvement as noted. Given that I don't see any ideas to solve it by any other means in my firm opinion. Weed those terrorists out and eliminate them. Send a clear message for once. We have never done that firmly in the past. This is different than the middle east. That is not a good comparison..... Like I said we need to retaliate at this point and show that we are going to take care of unfinished business instead of threatening. I think explaining what I think these people understand explains the rest.
