That one's easy, Yoshie: turbans. Look for the turbans. Sure, we'll take out some innocent people, but there's always collateral damage during war. Allah will sort them out.
For the first time in my life, I'm seriously considering renouncing my U. S. citzenship and living somewhere else. The terrorist attack was horrific enough, but the U. S. response (replete with jingoism, racism, sabre-rattling, and clueless arrrogance) makes me ashamed to call myself a U. S. citizen.
