"an eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind" - Mahatma Gandhi
i don't think war as we know it is the answer. killing innocent people because someone killed our innocent people is a foolish proposition that would see no end. war is a bad word to use i think. war entails killing for the sake of borders. this isn't war. i accept that we should bring to justice those who masterminded this, but this whole situation must have rules. realize that the middle east is a place where we aren't so welcome. pakistan has agreed to be on our side, but don't forget they have the bomb. overreacting to 5,000 deaths could be the demise of our nation if one country out there decides that nuke is the answer. rationality isn't part of the game. evil people don't see themselves as evil, so what we see as justice, they see as an attack. which would provide other attacks.
