"Strong action" and "effective action" are mutually exclusive.
Let's say I have a bad day at work, come home, and kick the snot out of my dog. That could be considered
strong action (at least Fido would think so!) but it's not
effective action. The Flag Waving sheep don't understand that. We could have bombed and invaded Antartica and it would have had the exact net effect on reducing terrorism as invading Iraq. Actually - it would have been better for 2 reasons: 1) we wouldn't pissed off
n more people of the muslim world; 2) we wouldn't be enrolled in the "Body Bag of the Day" club.
