Freedom has a price! There are those who are jealous and would take it from us. There are those that would rather spread fear, hate and anger than peace. We in the USA have the freedom because so many fought and sacrificed. We have not had to defend the peace in a long time and I am afraid that some have forgotten that freedom must be defended.

Long ago the Selective Service sent me a note telling me I'm too old to fight. So now I need to find alternatives.

I am now an engineer in the commercial world, but I used to develop electronic equipment for the DOD. In that time, military technology has moved from leading edge to falling behind commercial technology. I bet the market for military development will again be strong.

I agree that it will be harder to target an enemy with no "return address", but I also think that it is reasonable to say that this enemy is more of a parasite that feeds off a larger host, IE the countries and governments that harbor them. In a situation such as this it would be most beneficial to destroy the host, there by cutting off all means of survival. I personally think that even though this may mean killing many of people that may or may not be involved, that is the price that these people must pay for the actions of the bastards they harbor. Keep in mind that the only thing terrorists understand is terror, and the only way to win this type of war is to bomb the piss out of their allies until their allies are willing to give them up. If they choose not to give them up, then it will be at the expense of their countries.
I say kill them all, for as long as they are able to breed, they will be able to bring up their children with this intense hatred for our way of life.
Please understand that I feel that it is alright to dislike the American way of life, but I do not feel that it is justified in any way, shape, or form to attack that way of life. Now that they have, I feel that it is important to do anything to unleash whatever force is necessary to show why we are THE world superpower, and that this action will not be tollerated ANYWHERE!!!
If this statement offends anyone, please e-mail me or PM me and I will remove it. I just felt it necessary to get this off of my chest
