So it's some kind of macho game of honor and respect. We can't change our foreign policy now, no matter how flawed it is, because to do so would be to "appease" the terrorists? BTW, Jacob Hornberger's essay had nothing in it about negotiating with the terrorists. And, as far as I know, no demands have been made relating to the attack. Even the reasons for the attack are not entirely clear, in spite of what some people have said. -- --Michael Clem----------------------------------- I love mankind...It's people I can't stand! -Linus --http://macsnafu.freeyellow.com-----------------
