Thanks, Brad

Brad,
I just wanted to say thanks for your comments and posts since the terrorist attacks.
I know that I've come across as caustic to both you and Stardock in the past, but I had to thank you for being both level headed and firm in your resolve to defend the integrity of the United States during this horrific time.
I didn't want to make this a public issue on the boards since it would either be construed as butt kissing, or just another reason for a few of our community members to post inflammatory remarks about how the US some how deserved this monstrosity.
On the other hand, you deserve to be thanked publicly for your stance on the issues, and especially for your knowledge of history in your rebuttals.
How this event has effected me personally is a private matter for me at this time, and I'll leave it at that, except to say that the expression "Where there is Life, there is Hope", is one that I cling to at the moment.
But once again, I thank you for both your integrity and sensitivity during this time of tragedy.

China look at "your" two little girls, would you sacrafice them to play this part in history?
I've never been wrapped up into all this stuff that runs behind ppl's minds and makes them act out.
(Like these nuts that just murdered all these innocent ppl for a role they thought they just had to play) makes me sick!!!
I still think as far as we have supposidily evolved as human beings and advanced technologicly (sp chk that tech word please Jafo) have come "WHY" can't we have a Special Tactical Force go into these small countries and remove the rats w/o exterminating the families living in the house w/ them that may not have a choice they reside w/ them! That's all I'm saying,
I'm not saying sit back and ignore, just handle this more "advanced" then them, I know something HAS to be done, it's the how that I'm hoping is not going to shed more innocent Blood...
/now go ahead and misinterpet me some more and have fun bashing me
I'm done

I wish Doreen you would listen to the words of others instead of simply repeating what you have stated over and over. Please re-read what I have said above to you and respond to that rather than repeating emotionally charged but practically useless statement of "look in your little boy's eyes.."
Doing nothing ensures that innocents will die. More innocents than if we do something decisive.

I'm reposting my previous comment:
Can we get rid of evil? No.
But if you don't think we can get rid of islamic militants, then I suggest you take a hard look at the history of World War II.
Fascism was thought to be the next big thing. The wave of the future. Nothing would stand in its way.
No one would have ever thought that the world could be totally rid of Nazism.
But it's effectively gone as a force in the world. But there are still Nazi's here and there but it's gone as an effective force.
Islamic militants are today's Nazis. Can we get rid of each one? No. But we can so devastate it that it will cease to be an effective force in the world.
You don't see Japanese terrorists attacking the United States. We don't worry about a car bomb coming from disgrunted Germans.
Consider why that is.
