That way they can regroup and rebuild their forces, so that next time they attack our country 9/11 will seem like we got off easy.  We should stop trying to regulate the world, they only hate us and believe its religiously right for them to kill us, but its not like they will actully do it, right?

The only ones who can end the war are the terrorists themselves until we eradicate them all !

I know!\n\nWe could ask the terrorist to stop killing innocent school children and stop blowing up defenseless people in the streets.\n\nThen if they still wouldn`t stop we could carry signs like "no to Jihad" " stop beheading innocent people"\n\nAnd if that didn`t work we could just all become Muslim and have Sharia law govern us. Just as Bin Laden told us to do  to save our lives in his "1996 declaration of war on America".\nLittle girls would never see schools and they could be ignorant sex slaves to boys covered head to foot in a berka. Anyone we didn`t like and wasn`t a good Muslim could just be put in a mass grave and all would be Peace and love.

when the war is not stopped then that means our troops are doing their job and killing the terrorists.What are whiners like you going to do when these terrorists blow something up over here again and kill a bunch of innocent Americans... AGAIN.You'll just blame the government and say they never did there jobs.Our troops (HERO'S) cant win with you people so if you dont love this country and our freedoms then go live in iraq if you think it's so great over there......

They have only one goal.....making sure the US does nothing effective against terrorism.  The idea here is that, if another terrorist attack happens, preferably with hundreds of thousands of victims, they can blame it on Bush.

MAN  we need to just sit around and take it just like we have for the past 20 years.  Let the terrorist continue to kill Americans and just try to suppress it so no one in the United States hears much about it.  When we go to war it's all over the media so everyone hears about all the americans getting killed.  Let's pull out of Iraq and let the terrorists go back to what they were doing...killing americans without it being so public.

What are we going to do? Go cry to their mommies? It isn't like we can tell them to mobilize into an actual fighting army, because even if we do, they aren't going to. Of course we don't like it, but why b!tch and moan if we can't do anything bout it.\nWe observe the GC to show that we are better than them, not that the rest of the world cares. And if you believe that there are not parts of the US intelligence community that aren't using torture, you are sadly ignorant.

The liberals thrive on pessimissm and hoplessness. If Evil-White-Male-Bush is leading our country to DOOM, then we "need" them to rescue us. After all, America deserved 9/11 for our attitude. America is weak. We should have involved the U.N., despite all those oil kickbacks. The Muslims are really innocent-its the Christian right that are monsters.

You want us to pray for war. Are you crazy, do you think Jesus will answer these prayers. People have a problem with what the troops are doing, i.e. an unprovocted invasion of a country that was no threat to the US, didn't have any links to terrorism (of course it does now), didn't have any WMD. The troops are human and I don't like to see humans die or get injured but the fact is they shouldn´t be there. Most of my sympathy goes to the Iraqi people who are carrying this burden, 12,000+ dead. You wake up if you think what the military is doing in Iraq is making the world safer. Rectuitment for terrorists have soared because of this war. We have bombs going off every week, egypt last week. We have attacks in London, Madrid etc. etc.

Great idea! Let's get all the Taliban in one place, then we can just go ahead and nuke those SOBS back to the stone age. It would fit in with their mindset, you think?

Global hegemony makes us a target from terrorism.  If you want more terrorist attacks, then by all means invade sovereign nations for no real reason.  However, if you actually want to keep our country safe, it's probably best to keep our heads down.

He has a good point. We're not really targeting the key players, we're not making it difficult for them to recruit by killing the enemy in large numbers, and we're not saying, "HEY! Moderate Muslim dude, tell your fundamentalist neighbor to quit blowing people up!"\n\n\nNo wonder we'll eventually lose this war and the Middle East will become a degenerate, ignorant sinkhole.

I don't know about other Americans, but I, as an American have no doubt in my mind they are planning another attack of some kind  on the US.\n  I don't believe they will act in haste either. I think they will slowly plan every little detail until they feel it's at least a 99% chance that they will succeed.  \n  They certainly will not give any advance notice on an attack either. They will let some info out just to keep us on our toes and watch us put put added security in the airports and train stations etc. Who knows, possibly they let out attack info just to see where and how security is taken here. That in itself is valuable information for them.\n  The sleeper cells are HERE is this country and they know what's going on. They are just passing the time and waiting..waiting until we are all relaxed. And then, with no advanced notice they will attempt their plan on us. Where, When and How is the question that no-one can answer.\nSeptember 11 was the first wake-up call for the people of this country. Sad thing is, alot of people fell asleep again.

Because all they need is a tiny bit of incentive to go off on a killing spree.  And it works doesn't it?  Look how so many came out condemning the cartoons in order to pacify the radicals.  Every time they go off the deep end, the rest of the world is standing there in horror and fear then finally succumbing to siding with the extremists just so the violence stops.  It's a very effective way of silencing the masses and getting what they want.  Which is the first step in forceful conversion to Islam.

As a member of the military I have some reluctance in answering this question the way I feel it needs.\n\nWill the USA sugger another large-scale attack?  I don't doubt that another attack of the magnitude of 9/11 is possible.  In fact I am quite sure there are a number of terrorist organizations planning attacks like 9/11 even as I write this posting.\n\nAre 9/11's preventable?\n\nI think that if news reports are to be believed we have already prevented attacks such as this.  (I don't necessarily believe news reports).  That said in a free society such as we enjoy we simply can not (And probably should not) do what is necessary to prevent all such attacks.  If we give up our freedom to prevent all such attacks we are handing a victory to the terrorists.

The US will only bomb.  They have no prayer of holding the country without a unified coalition of nations.  The bombing will probably take place in about another year.

If we took the gloves off over there,i would go tomorrow.The problem is all the sniveling on the home front, about "torture"and "terrorist rights".Screw 'em.They are barbarians,and must dealt with as such.Why should we play by rules,and the enemy does not.?

NO! NO! NO! And to these people saying that oh we are fighting the people that brought down the towers. Iraq had nothing to do with that so destroying the people and their country is stupid. The reason the terrorists are there are because we are. They want to kill US! So we should have stayed in afganastan and then to saudi arabia where the killers of 911 came from. That is if you even believe all that our goverment has told you.
