To the Editor,

If terrorists are capable of killing thousands of innocent people on American soil by hijacking four commercial jets, imagine what they'll do with the weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles that they are busy acquiring.

International terrorism of this magnitude would not be possible without the dictatorial governments such as Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc. that harbor terrorists.

It would be suicidal for the Bush administration to primarily focus on getting the individual terrorists or their leaders, such as Osama bin Laden. Such killers are easily replaced these days. Harboring anti-American terrorists is an automatic declaration of war against America. The United States must strategically destroy - by whatever means necessary - as many of these governments as is required to remove the threat of terrorism.

It's not about vengeance; it's about justice and rational self-preservation.

Our worst enemies today are all the appeasers, moral relativists, "let's negotiate"-ists, and "turn-the-other-cheek"-ers who, for decades, have been rendering us impotent in the face of these mass murderers.
