I would suggest that what you'll see is a measured, well thought out, and
precisely executed application of 'justice' to the perpetrators of
yesterday's madness. Even though analogies have been drawn to Pearl Harbor,
that was a carefully crafted attack against a MILITARY target. This was a
shameful, ruthless, and cowardly act of terrorist aggression aimed at
innumerable INNOCENT civilians. If there is 'collateral damage' that
includes civilians in our effort to exact justice, it will be unfortunate.
When I see what may wind up being some of the casualties of that collateral
damage dancing in the streets, singing, waving flags, and exhibiting
outright joy at the events of yesterday, it tempers quite completely my
inhibitions against extracting said justice.
