Despite the gun slinging rhetoric, heloplts last post raises a good point. The atrocities committed last week were of such a magnitude that it would be wrong for civilised nations not to do something decisive about it, this is not just an american issue. Bring the perpetrators to 'justice' if you want but remember these people quite happily killed themselves and THOUSANDS of innocent people- do you think being brought to court scares them? I think not. Decisive military action is required so that the perpetrators or those who are considering trying in the future are under no illusions that the civilised world will not stand for terrorism especially on this scale. Don't stick your heads in the sand just because it didn't happen at home, its just what these people want to happen. Now is the time to draw the line in the sand to stop future acts occurring.
