I got your "take as much time as you want" mail, but then I sent you another mail like 3 days ago, which you obviously haven't recieved. Just wanted to check you were OK since I hadn't seen you here and you live in DC.

Re: human origin discussion: Sailor Saturn and I agreed to put it aside for a while, since we both felt it wasn't really important right now. Better to resume it later.

Now, to answer your question:
I would suggest to Bush that he focus on the intelligence and diplomatic parts of the war, rather than the military part. Continue to build up good relations and collaboration with the Arab states, especially those who have problems with terrorism and those who are likely hideouts for the terrorists.
Collect evidence against the responsible organisations, and present them to Pakistan, Afghanistan and other countries suspected of supporting terrorist groups on a governmental level. Use the military force as a negotiation advantage (read: threat) rather than sending missiles and soldiers.
And I would also suggest Bush to connect the operation to UN. All countries in the UN Security Council are already supporting the US, so this would be a piece of cake, just a few words with Annan and a formal vote. A clear UN support would make it easier for the goverment of countries like Pakistan to act in support of the US. A global, unified action supported by several Arab states, will hopefully minimise the risk for a continuing cycle of violence.
And last but not least: make a clear statement that Israels current acting is not acceptable. The US support of Israel is the root of much hate, and right now, Israel is acting very immoral IMO, and the US would gain a lot of goodwill in the Arab world (and Europe!) if they clearly state they are not supporting Israels recent attacks on Palestinian territory.
