Living in England, I would hope you could see the difference betweeen
"bomb the hell out of wherever..." and what was done in Afghanistan.
London experienced the reality of your statement. Afghanistan didn't.

If it were only that easy. Read Al Qaeda's charter. Basically, we
all have two options. One, convert the entire world to a Taliban-like
Islam society. Dress your women in burkhas, get rid of all the music,
etc.

Or exterminate them like the cockroaches they are.

No matter WHAT we do (including calling off the war on terror), we're
infidels that must be eliminated. They don't really need any excuse
to kill us, in their mind.
