You are stubbornly refusing or psychologically
unable to see that the
U.S. was the aggrieved party in 1941-1945
(as indeed it is the
aggrieved party in 2001-200?).

Japan declared war on the U.S. in December
1941. We went ahead and won
that war.

Al Qaeda declared war on the U.S. in September
2001. We are in the
process of winning that war.

So in other words, to paraphrase my little
brother when we were kids,
"He started it"? Besides, your assertion that
al-Qaeda "declared war"
on 9/11 is a rhetorical cheat.

Not when Al qaeda publicly announced to the
world that they had declared
was on the U.S.
OBL has said in his interviews that his organization had done so. Since
they aren't a country, when they are caught, they should be treated in a
manner similar to when Cicero told the Roman Senate that "Pirates were the
enemies of the human race", but updated for modern times. Whenever an AQ
member is caught, give him a choice: rat on everyone and everything he knows
and he gets life in prison with no chance of parole. If he doesn't cooperate,
military tribunal followed by hanging or firing squad. And make sure the
AQ web sites get hacked to point out the fate awaiting those who aren't killed
in their pointless cause on the battlefield...the lucky ones leave Gitmo
in a pine box. The unlucky ones get sent to a supermax for the next fifty
or sixty years, but they do leave...in a pine box.
