Ok, so Holder wants to try Mr. 9/11 in New York as a criminal trial, not as an act of war in a military tribunal. However, we went to war in Afghanistan on the principle that 9/11 was an act of war. Even Obama has cited Afghanistan as the "righteous war."

How can it be righteous if you do not believe the premises for going to war do not exist?

How can it be righteous if you believe the premises for going to war do not exist?

Andrew,

Honestly...I don't understand anything politicians do or say. I wouldn't make a good one.

Get better

Thanks... it's just a head cold thing so I should be good by Saturday. Good thing too because I'm going to hang out in Palm Springs and have a lot of riding to do next week. Supposed to be 70* and sunny all week so i should be able to get a couple hundred miles in.

Easy. We are at war with a group of people who are harboring war criminals who attacked without provocation and killed innocent civilians. They are willingly harboring said fugitives who have vowed to do us more harm if and when they are able.

In the end, who really cares if you call it a war or a police action as long as bin Laden is brought to justice in front of a New York court or a military tribunal?
