I see we're off to a strong start in consensus-building :) Actually, your point is well taken, Nathan, and IMO your suggested policy seems reasonable for the left as a whole to rally around, i.e.:
>- cooperative police work between nations to catch the perpetrators
>- international tribunals to try them for war crimes to assure global
>acceptance of their trials
>- addressing real grievances of the muslim world (such as the Palestinian
>cause) to isolate the murderers from the general population
>- global economic justice to eliminate the misery which feeds resentment
>against the US and sympathy for such terrorism
>- defense of civil liberties in favor of sane security measures that don't
>breed more police abuses and cycles of resentment and violence
Anyone have a problem with that list?
