Absolutly. The people of Afghanistan are just Americans who live in a different country. We shouldn't kill people who would find it imoral to kill us, but we also have to find a way to stop people whose common decency has been supplanted by an idiological belief that killing people who wouldn't kill them is justified. Whatever else these types may be, they are criminally insane and must be stopped. If we do it right, not only will we be better off, everybody else will too. Because the terrorist lives within the healthy body of humanity, provound thought, time, and consensus building will be required to arrive at a universal and acceptable strategy for deeling with them. Because people have been known to hack off a limb to prevent the spread of cobra venom, societies who harbor terrorists, heretofore, on the vague assumption that their targets aren't local, will have to rethink their approach. The greatest weapon against terrorism is that it is wrong and not something that people with healthy minds do. To war, then, against what sickens the mind, is to war against the root source of this scourge. To war in that way, of course, is to love.
