Revenge

A pretty apt sentiment on terror from Andrew Sullivan.

The emotional impact affects far more than the actual targets of the attacks. What I've learned these past few years - and it has been a difficult lesson for me - is that the legitimate rage at these barbarians must not cloud our judgment in figuring out how best to defeat them.

Indeed. The elephant in the room, of course, are WMDs. If these groups get their hands on one - particular a nuke - oh boy, it really is not going to be pretty.
