God, as envisioned by all civilized people, is good.  Mankind, having been created by God, is obligated to exist with overall good intent and purpose.  Our mistakes may be attributed to our 'just being human' and therefore we are eligible for forgiveness by God and our neighbors after reasonable transgressions.

But what is to be done when people for any reason whatsoever freely choose to destroy, damage and inflict massively intense pain upon their fellow men?  Does God intend to punish these perpetrators someday somehow?  Will they awaken to the error of their ways and feel distraught at having sinned?  We do not know the answers to these questions, but we, The Civilized, know without any doubt that we must go on about our civilized lives not injuring or inflicting pain upon others.

By Nature and by God we must go on about our civilized lives because to be civilized is to want to work for progress.  But there are times when the dark force of total evil disrupts and attempts to destroy the civilized majority.  At these times civilized mankind has the right to enforce God's Law of Good.  We have the right  ---  and the ordained obligation to our creator, ourselves and our next generations  ---  to defend ourselves and put an end to that most specious, insidious, despicable dark force that has proven by its own free actions to be destructive, unworthy and having specious values.

A new Age arrived September 11, 2001.  It may be termed asymmetric warfare, terrorism, or given other labels but all of these terms are contemporaneously superfluous and falsely aggrandize the dark force that stalks Earth.  These labels and their attendant studies provide for intellectual methodologies and procedures of handling and defending civilization in the future.  The only relevant immediate question is, "How does a civilization contain a force so horrific in substance that it resorted to means beyond a civilized world's abilities to have anticipated?"

The geographic aspect was The United States of America, but the victims include every civilized individual and nation.  The time has come to declare war upon the perpetrators of destruction.  Today's War For The Defense of Our Future must react rationally, forceful enough to destroy, and united as one to demonstrate to future dark forces that such out-of-bounds, asymmetric destruction will not ever be tolerated and should not be attempted.

In order to preserve and continue, civilized people have the right and the obligation to attack and destroy that enemy known to have committed the horrors of September 11, 2001.

It is time for a Declaration of War by the United States of America and by all civilized individuals and nations specifically stating that when perpetrators are identified they will be pursued and brought to justice.  Just as the perpetrators of horrors crossed national boundaries to inflict, so will retaliation against them.  Justice cannot allow perpetrators of such horrors to cower behind boundaries which they themselves have not honored and freely crossed when they come out to destroy civilized people.  National sovereignties will be respected for all civil reasons but will not be a limit to the pursuit of justice when striking the dark forces of unbounded, unimaginable destruction.
