Good point 4salt. I am coming to the conclusion however that passivism will not deter terrorist agression but invite it. The links of Sadham with terrorism are a bit skethy, but looking back, if the US had gone after Alkiada (sp?) immediately with the type of resources that we are now after the bombing of the USS Cole, we may be in a different boat now. Bottom line is, nations are either with us in going after terrorism or against us.
