I'm rather tired of the back-and-forth "The US is a terrorist state!" "No, you kill innocents!" "No, you do!" So lets take a step back and set up a hypothetical, shall we?

It is 9/12/01, one day after the attacks, and you are POTUS. What would you do? What would you say? What would be your long-term plan, assuming you have 7 more years to be president?

This question is particularly meant for those living outside the US, but anyone can respond.

What would you, as POTUS, have done on 9/12/01?

That's easy--resign in disgrace, because any competent Pres would've deployed NORAD fighters on time to prevent the worst from happening in the first place.
