I am so sick of the touchy/feely garbage that passes for political
correctness these days. I am not religous so I had to develope my own moral
code to guide my actions.

What I believe is simple. What you do is your own business unless you
intentionally, or through neglect, cause harm to another person. If you
violate this rule you are subject to the consequences of your actions. This
is what I teach my children in the hope that they learn that they are
responsible for themselves and their actions. This will be an uphill battle
as the public school system seems determined to convince children that they
have a right to everything they want and there is no need to work for it.

The terrorists in this case need to be punished. But today's terrorist
groups are little more than tools used by countries without the guts to take
a stand on their own. If we do not go after the sponsors of these groups
then they will simply finance yet another group and we accomplish nothing.

In war, if your goal is not the total destruction of the enemy then you are
a traitor to your people and a danger to their cause. The countries that
knowingly sponsored, or in any way assisted those responsible, this attack
must suffer as complete and humiliating defeat as it is in our power to
provide.
