Claus,
I forgive you about the "phat chick fridays". Gosh, that took me a long time to say. :p

Anyway. I do agree with you on some points, but I do not believe that you can contain evil, I think we need to go out and crush evil. How to do that? I do not have the answer, but a global police force is not the answer - who would they be responsible to? Who would prevent them from distributing (selling) classified information that would leave the USA vulnerable? Look at all of the issues with "UN" troops currently deployed.

I've got no issues with targeted strikes, but they need to be effective.

Personally, I think we have been running a "PC war", and we don't have the will to go out there and win. People think that we need to be "fair" in a battle situation, but I think that is crazy.

Perfect example was somone pulling the plug on nailing all of those terrorists seen at a funeral because it was in a cemetary. Or any number of examples of not attacking a Mosque - as terrorists use the grounds and building to train terrorists and stockpile weapons.

Rules of engagement seem a bit out-of-whack for me right now.
