Terrorism is terrorism, and just like murder and robbery it's a law enforcement matter not a military matter. Not when it involves foreign nationals and rises to the scale of 9/11. That sort of thing is akin to warfare and a direct attack on the country as a whole. It therefore DOES justify a military response.
You can't really compare that directly to some Yay-hoo tossing a stink bomb at an abortion clinic because he thinks that's what Jesus wants. If at first you don’t succeed – try, try again and then quit. There’s no sense in making a damned fool of yourself. – W.C. Fields |
