You could use the metaphor of a bank robber (terrorists) holding a gun to the teller, but the police (us) have a gun aimed at the robber. But isn't war more complicated than that? Its as if the robber has buddies with guns aimed at the cop, and then the cops have guns aimed at the other guys. If any one of them shoot, they will all die.
I read an editorial about how the terrorists "can't be reasoned with, that their way is the only way." ...Didn't we sort of do that with Saddam and Iraq? Sure, it was bad, but who are we to say that another country is being run the wrong way and invade them?
When someone says that the terrorists are trying to take away our freedom, its not the terrorists doing it. Its our own government and the patriot act.
That's just my point of view. What's yours and why?
