Re: my Post 9/11 "hopes" that theere would be an international round up of terrorists and a Phoenix Program-style response to the event... Obviously I have no desire to see squads of American, British, German and what not assassins roaming the globe commmitting mayhem.

But obviously the US and the other Western nations were going to respond one way or the other to the incidents of 9/11. That was a given.

Therefore the choice was going to be either a targeted response, however crude and nasty, done strictly with harsh police techniques on a street level, or an untargeted response, done with large armed forces and air power.

The US chose the stupid, vile, latter option, as I feared they would. It turns out that they chose the former, as well, demonstrated by the presence of John "DeathSquad" Negroponte on the ground in Baghdad.

Which option would you have preferred?
