Gentlemen, a few years back when I was working in the Middle East I helped thwart a plot on a Canadian CANDU nuclear reactor. This was an advanced stage operation that was designed to create a Cherybnobl style effect in a Canadian nuclear power plant.

Irrespective of the chain of events that lead to commencement of this war on terror, the job should be finished and not left incomplete. To not do so places millions of North Americans at continued risk.

I am not an American yet I see the unttennable position your President has been in. To do nothing was to continue to allow innocent Americans to be killed around the world and at home (Dharan bombings, Nigeria Bombings, USS Cole etc).

There was no question about America having to act to protect its citizens, only the timing and the degree was in issue. Most of the dissenting opinions so far have implied that the USA went too far too early... but that is a very tough call to make without access to quality information.
