  Killing millions of innocent Afghans with nuclear bombs will not reduce the 
level of terrorism. Let's get a little perspective here:
1. Most Afghans hate the Taliban.
2. The US armed the Taliban, making it possible for them to defeat the less 
fanatical Afghan groups.
3. The US armed and funded Bin Laden.
4. The US kept a blockade on the poor of Iraq for ten years, killing 
thousands of poverty-stricken children and manufacturing hundreds of thoudans 
of potential terrorists.
5. The US launched terror strikes against the medical industry in the Sudan 
because Clinton had an affair with an intern.

  Hunting down terrorists is a good idea. There's plenty right here in the US 
government; after we get those we can go after the foreign ones too. But 
blowing up  people who happen to be living in the cities that the terrorists 
infest (Washington D.C., for instance) is not a "pro-civilization" idea.
  Are you familiar with the Lusitania, Mr. Platt?
