Terrorist strikes have gone down since we attacked Afganistan/Iraq??!?!?! Every road side bomb, every IED that kills 20 people, THAT is a terrorist act!!
We are in the birth of creation, where people have been fighting for thousands of years, and we wedge ourselves between several warring religouis factions, and we expect that our guns and tanks will just solve itself.
We had Iraq under the microscope since 91. Air Force flying NON STOP over Iraq. They were NO threat to anyone.
Afganastan, I can see because that "goverment" was directly involved in with Sept 11th as well as several other of Osama's attacks.
We did not launch a full military invasion to take out suspected factories and camp sites, and that kept them at bay.
Remember, they didnt "bomb" us, they didnt blow anything up. There was no explosives on board any of the 3 planes. They were trained here, by American flying schools to fly large aircraft, and they used the planes to do the damage.
And now, look at our "free" nation, full of illegal wire taps and the Patriot Acts that can hold you in jail, not disclose your location, or tell you why you are being held against your will, all in the name of "National Security."
Years from now, we will look back on this and realise how we destroyed, yet again, American's liberties just like we do on the McCarthy Era, Internment Camps in WWII, as well as several acts passed durring WWI and Spanish-American War. History repeats itself yet again.
