Of course thats prolly true, but then why would Rumsfeld say that its "inevitable" that the terrorists aquire WMD's?

Wasn't there this press release a few months back when they told us they were working on small-scale nuclear bombs that could be used against Iraq in case of war???

We a easy targets because of our open fee society . However our government sits by and lets these people plan terrorist acts at a recent " terrorist convention " in Lebanon .

just a few comments from my side to this matter:

1.) I don't think US will be able to bomb the Afghanistan (or similar countries) ... b/c with "small" range bombs they won't get most of the Afghanistan, but with "large" range bombs, they will hit also nearby countries :(

And many terrorists are not even in "terrorists" countries probably ...

2.) Somebody said that terrorists are stupid ... I'll have to oppose this ... of course most of the terrorists "soldiers" are not smart ... but most leaders are very smart ... just look at the level of education of Bin Laden .... he knows what he's doing ....


3.) If US bombs countries that finance terrorism, terrorists will find another way to get goods anyway


4.) I believe that terrorists won't do anything large right now to the US ... maybe only small things (aka suicide bombings) ... so they can get US into haos, and only then do something big


that's it for now ...

Count on it.

Too late. It HAS already happened.
