[QUOTE]Originally posted by Constellation of One: [QB] "And, of course, being merciful couldn't possibly be a virtue..." In a word, "no." You don't show mercy to a rabid dog. You kill it. When an animal has gone beyind redemption, you put it down. Osama Bin Laden is just such an animal. Over the years, he has killed thousands of innocents. If anyone is being merciful here, its the USA and her allies. Who else would bomb (in part) to open up an air corridor to bring in food and medical supplies? Not some Hitlerian state, nor a communist state, nor, dare I say, a fundamentalist Islamic state. Nope, just the oft-maligned USA and her allies. Enough doubting our actions. Enough questioning whether we are acting morally and justly. War has little room for those facets, but if its possible to fight a war for moral and just reasons, and morally and justly, then we are doing just that. The terrorists will not act in that manner. They will continue to strike without warning, without mercy, and with no regard for the lives of innocents. If you disagree with them, they consider you to be their mortal enemy. You cannot reason with them, because only reasonable people can reason. You cannot use logic on them, because their searing hate is inherently illogical. The Taliban and Bin Laden's cohorts have awakened the sleeping giant, allowed the elephant into the playground, and if I may use one more cliche, they started this conflict and now they must ride the whirlwind of their own creation. I wonder if the doubters out there will feel guilty about American defending her people if Bin Laden or some other terrorist unleashes a bio-chem attack. Of course, by then it will be too late...
