Concur completely.

As has already been stated, the best response to terrorist demands is to do the opposite thing.

If they want you out, double your force. If they want to be publicized, refuse to cover them or their stories. If they kidnap people, redouble your efforts to capture their leadership.

These are hard times coming, and they are going to call for drastic measures.

Frankly, I agree that we do not currently have the stomach for it. After they hit us a few more times, I think that we will. We are afraid to show the 9/11 videos on TV, but we let Michael Moore spew his filth and lies. I have a better idea. Maybe we should make a feature film about the terrorists, their supporters, their apologists in the US, and their actions, showing the consequences. I think your average American should see the other side for a change. 3,000 dead Americans, kids buried alive, people crusjhed and burned to death, leaping smouldering, hundreds of feet from burning buildings, having their throats slashed in the cabins, billions in damage, and we are still afraid to face the reality because it might offend people? Please America, wake up!
