"show of force seems to be the only way to fight this kind of insanity"

listen to yourself

The taliban is a bad bad regime, I'm happy to see it overthrown, but the taliban did not knock off the wtc

Is the U$A now the policeman of the world, fighting corrupt governments run by foreign fanatics (which they helped create) ?

good, I expect them to invade Israel next and get rid
of the racist bigoted anti palestinian government there

the usa has to rebuild a few buildings - big fucking deal, I'm sure theres already someone making a profit on it

afghanistan has to rebuild an entire country, and not just in the bricks and mortar sense

the U$A blew up such military targets as cigarette factories in yugoslavia just so they could 'win' the contracts to rebuild them

your government has a tendancy to wage war when there is a profit to be made, so expect little sympathy from the rest of the world when you get a bloody nose

I expect the body count in afghanistan to be larger than in new york - is that justice ? or is it just getting even ?

the whole thing makes me sick
