The simplest, most efficient and emotionally satisfying response is to target the perpetraters and their support system and pound them into the dirt and salt that dirt for generations to come. A more productive, but substantially more difficult solution is to build defenses that deny terrorists opportunity and, eventually, a world community where such aberrations cannot take root. Having said that, I must confess I have no clue about where to start,, But, I know we'll never achieve anything we can't imagine. Regards, Geo.

But then, trying to be loving and forgiving doesn't appear to be the solution either - how many terrorists respond to those who turn the other cheek? With their mentality of "killing infidels for Allah," they just figure if America turns the other cheek, that just makes it easier for them to do Allah's will by smacking that cheek as well. So, what IS the solution? Good question.
