Vengeance is a dish best served cold.
Now I truly understand these words. If you read my commentary written on 9.12.01, you will see that in my anger, I was ready to support whatever action was required to rid the world of terrorist organizations such as Osama Bin Laden and his minions. However, a week later, I find that although I still support action against terrorism, I do not support an all out invasion of Afghanistan or any other country. Throughout the past week, a sickening term has been used by many government representatives as well as media commentators like O'Reilly on Fox News. That term is collateral damage.
