I am going to jump on board with Yoshie's suggestions here. Even though I think the terror network involved in the attacks will eventually be shown to be some form of Islamic clerical fascism, I don't think a military attack by the US will solve anything, and most likely will make things worse.
Also, let's reject US unilateralism and support problem-solving by the United Nations, the World Court, etc.
