It's time to change foreign policy...

Sounds like a plan to me!!

I agree. Enough being "Mr Nice Guy".

Yes, lets avenge the death of one innocent civilian by killing millions of others.

Would you advocate launching a nuke at Buffalo, since thats where McVeigh was born? You can't have it both ways.

All is fair in love and war.

I have to say I agree... So far, We have been the only one's to ever launch a nuke... Once we push "the button", there would be such an outcry from a world that really doesnt like us playying police anyway, worldwide chaos would happen. 911 would probably be a childs play compared to what would happen. And we're not the only ones with a nuke so--someone would give us a dose of our own medicine i am sure. I think if we had minded our own business in the first place, a lot of things in the US would have been better.

We WERE minding our own business and look what happened on Sept. 11th. We WERE minding our business during the the 93 WTC bombing, The 98 African Embassy Bombing and the USS Cole attack in 2000. That makes no sense to me!!

Not sure if this is true that I've read...but... If so, we were definitely not minding our business... Try typing "carpet of bombs" (quotes included) in yahoo search-many pages come up. You will find how we threatenned with war if Afghanastan didn't negotiate with us on their Oil...

"At one moment during the negotiations, the U.S. representatives told the Taliban, 'either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs,'" Brisard said in an interview in Paris. [This threat was made before September 11th.]

The idea that the US "minds its own business" can be discredited with a simple review of history or a brief look at current international politics. From armed intervention to foreign aid to our role in the UN, G8, NATO etc, we are all over the place.... for better or for worse.
