Pakistan has already agreed to all requests from USA including
letting the USA launch attacks from Pakistani soil. This guy is out
of touch. Even Iran – through representatives of the Canadian
Government – have indicated they will not oppose any targeted strikes
against the cowards who tried to bring terror to democracy. I agree
with KIM. We must catch punish these cowardly terrorists.

This is a war: a war against freedom and democracy. This freedom
lets you apply henna without persecution. It allows people to opine
without persecution, even when they say, and wrongly so, that America
is partly to blame. United States and her allies must fight, not
grudgingly or slowfootedly, as if to signal mercy to the terrorists,
but forthrightly, holeheartedly, conspicuously. It is a war.
Innocent people will be harmed like they were in New York. If we do
not confront that possibility now, we will have to endure far worse
later. It is bombs and knives today; it will be anthrax and nuclear
warheads tomorrow. That is the stark choice in front of us. We must
stand strong together. We must say to these to cowardly terrorists
that we are not afraid. The men who destroyed the World Trade Center
are not moved by mere hatred of Israel, or even the United States: It
is Western civilization they hate, in all its forms, with all its
values. The only way we could escape their wrath would be by
abandoning those values, engaging in ever more craven acts of
appeasement, until at last there was nothing left of us but self-
loathing.
No. We must fight this war against terrorist no matter whose soil we
are on. Our rags all dry under the same sun. And we shall fight
together, each democratic nation, side by side, any where under that
same sun to save democracy and are rights to live without fear of
persecution.
