What exactly is an appropriate response?

Someone, who I normally respect, told me in all seriousness yesterday that we should go nuclear on Afghanistan. I'd say the war hysteria has been whipped up high enough, maybe its time for some clear thinking. As someone who sees the WTC disaster as a natural outgrowth of our interventionist foreign policy, ongoing Iraqi bombing, and weapons sales to unpopular regimes, I don't think a use of overwhelming force resulting in more civilian casualties is the direction we want to go. So what would be an appropriate response to the terrorism?

A wise man once said, "War is the health of the state." As we can see, since Commie Tommy is off to Washington to be our new Terror Czar, this one is no different. g
