months / years of analysis and psychobabble needs to snap out of it.

No one here is advocating that the U.S. "decimate an innocent public because a few of their leaders are ruthless killers."

1. You need to understand that a terrorist realizes that he cannot fight a conventional fight with our forces, and sees everyone as a combatant - children, women, and senior citizens included. Therefore, he seeks to attain political objectives through asymmetric means; in other words, attack us in a way that we have no way of countering. Today, he succeeded in a big way.

2. Our current national security policy prohibits us from conducting assassinations of individuals who threaten our national security. I'm willing to bet that policy is about to change with an executive order.

3. Once we discover which government(s) was complicit in what happened today, they should get a 6-hour warning to evacuate all "non-combatants" from designated targets. At 6-hours + 1 second, those targets become craters, whether they've been evacuated or not. I'm not just talking a few PGMs either; I'm saying carpet-bombed, Arc-Lite type, destruction that renders those areas non-suitable for human habitation, followed 3 hours later with Proctor and the 82d walking through to collect souvenirs. CNN should accompany the paratroopers with live satellite feeds so the entire world sees the consequences of ruthlessly killing our innocent children, women, senior citizens, fathers, and mothers. THIS IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE A TERRORIST UNDERSTANDS, AND THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN!

4. After all this has happened, you'll still be looking "at the cultures involved here and figure out how to proceed... what action and reaction will achieve the best long term benefit vs. taking a short term revenge and making the problem worse long term." When you finally finish your "analysis", no one will care because the problem will no longer exist.

Sorry for the rant, but fed up with people trying to solve the unsolvable through committees and focus groups that merely attempt to make everyone "feel good". People need to stop comparing this to Pearl Harbor. That was a military operation against military targets. America was violated today; this is the worst disaster America has suffered within it's borders.

The only way to prevent terrorism is to kill it swiftly and completely with overwhelming force.
