We need to make peace with who ever did this, not war! If so, I believe that this recent tragedy will be the tip of the iceberg if they decide to attack us again.

Okay, let me get this straight. You're saying that the USA has wronged other nations. We provoked the attacks. We need to make peace.
First of all, by saying the attacks were provoked, you are blaming the victim. This is just wrong. Nothing could justify such mass murder and horror. This is also dangerous logic, the same logic that says that a woman in a short skirt deserved to be raped, that she "asked for it" and provoked it. Wrong, wrong and wrong.
This is NOT the time to make peace with these "people," I am sorry to say. That would be providing positive reinforcement to them. That would be teaching them that they can get what they want by murdering innocent people. This will teach them: oh, we want to get the U.S. to take us seriously and make peace with us, so all we need to do is murder a bunch of their people. Wrong again.
Finally, IMHO, there is no opportunity for peace. These people don't want peace. They want Americans dead. They want YOU dead, if you are an American. You. They would kill you right now if they had the chance.
On a side note, if you want some information on the people you would have us make peace with, check out

to see that the Taliban is PURE EVIL. They have been torturing and killing people in their own country. Negotiate with that? Make peace with that? I don't think so.
