The Al Queda boogie man is so much bullshit. A license to attack whenever or wherever we want without regard for national sovereignty. Rule of law my ass!
Says you, from your safe and sound home, thousands of miles away.
Islamic extremists hit the US multiple times during the clinton years, and only once during Bush. What makes you believe that their only goal all along was to destroy the world trade center and go home and never come back? Yes, they just wanted to settle a score for the Yankee's winning the world series, right? Those other attacks were just practice right?
Anyone with a brain understands that AQ isn't going to take over the world let alone the Muslim parts of the world.
Their goal and their attack was to force an emotional and irrational reaction out of us which would tarnish our reputation and standing. For the most part they got it from the looks of your post and from what happen with the Iraq war. You want to play checkers but they are playing chess.
Oi, so many loaded false premises:
0) If you don't think Islam is taking over the world, you've got another thing coming. Islam IS going to take over Africa, Europe and even Russia. Not necessarily through force, they are simply out populating countries in Europe and even Russia at a staggering pace. Get enough countries predominatly muslim and at least one of them is going to be on the extremist edge, wait, that's Iran, and Syria, now Lebanon and some nations in Africa.
1) Their goal was to force a silly reaction from us? Did you telepathically get that from an AQ across the world?
2) Our reputation can only be tarnished if we are not resolved to destroy the evil that exists. The ONLY thing that has hurt our image is the left's vehement attacks on it's own country's policies, all because they are too weak or cowardly to face an enemy. Or they are too blind to even see that AQ and other muslim extremists cannot be reasoned with and we cannot sit back and wait to be attacked again.
3) They wanted to play chess, they ended up playing chicken and hound.
