"WFA is greatly troubled by the fact that innocent civilians were killed
here in America on 9-11 and are now being killed in Afghanistan.  We work to
make obsolete such crude, reactionary violence.  Since long before 9-11 we
have advocated -- and made some important progress towards -- a global
intelligence, law enforcement, and court system that would interdict such
global criminals before they act, and then arrest and try in a court-of-law
those who do manage to carry out such crimes.  Lacking such a structural
solution, however, the hastily-formed coalition that has been cobbled
together since 9-11 will at best achieve vigilantism (not justice) as it
tries to get Bin Ladin dead or alive, killing many more innocents in the
process.  Is such vigilantism better than nothing?  Perhaps.  Regardless,
WFA will continue the fight for real global security and justice.  Terrorism
is a complex persistent problem, and we need more than an ad-hoc coalition
to fight it.  If President Bush and other American citizens sincerely want
long-term global security, then we call upon them to join our cause."
