No. What you're saying there is more than understandable. It's this bit that I find barbaric:
Its time for some good reality TV, public executions.
If the terrible resolve includes the desire to get on with the "nation-building" thing, and turn Afghanistan into the sort of country where people won't want to become terrorists because, then it's A Good Thing, even to us effete Europeans.

But if it includes the desire to bomb the poor bloody peasants of Iraq even further back into the Stone Age for the crime of being ruled by someone who once pissed off Dubya's dad, then I'm afraid I can't see justice there. Not when there are more dangerous countries and worse governments.
