   Will the real terrorists..PLEASE STAND UP?

   My prediction is that we will never win the "War on Terrorism" with
   that mindset

   How do you get rid of a nest of hornets on your back yard?  Take a
   stick and knock the nest out of the tree.  Once you get all of the
   hornets flying around, you can kill them one at a time after they
   sting you.
