So let me get this straight. 15 insepctors

You said it. Terror breads terror, which is why your idea is dumb
seriously...
You can't fight violence with violence, two wrongs don't make a right, etc. etc.
I think the whole thing was handled correctly.

One wonders if the US needs a cold war simply to justify it's own huge nuclear capabilities.

That's a nice thought but a cold war can only work if both sides are rational and don't want the entire world to go up in smoke. Saddam has yet to prove to me that he is rational. In a dictatorship one person truly has a finger on the button. Not so in the case of the U.S. and the former Soviet Union, no matter how many times people tell you otherwise.

Yeah, that WOULD teach them about terrorism, but are we really that pathetic that we need to sink to their level???? Don't kill civilians with it, just blow the rock up in the middle of the night when theres nobody there - it cleanly removes their symbols, teaches them the meaning of terrorism, and isnt nearly as "low" as what Osama did to us. I hate to have to advocate destroying something millions of ppl see as a symbol of their culture... but Osama did that to us here, and he's not going to understand any action just aimed at his resources... the people he claims to support must SEE FOR THEMSELVES the damage he has caused us!

How old are you? That is ridiculous. Thinking that is acceptable, but it is the kind of thing that stays a mere personal though.
Annorax:
Tux... I have to disagree with your post. If you disagree, attack the post, not me.
As for my thoughts, lesser actions have done approximately NO good - Osama's still out there, building up resources for whatever he's going to do next, and removing his stranglehold on Afghanistan didnt help. I believe the only way to convince his followers (notice i dont say muslims.... i'm not the kind of person to condemn a billion people for the actions of a couple dozen) that his way is NOT the way to achieve what they think is right... and destroying something they consider an important symbol may be the way to do that.
