Are you kidding me ?

You seriously think that the war in iraq is going to prevent another one of those ?

If "terrorists" wanna blow up a building, there isnt enough money in the world to stop them from giving it their best shot.

So lets spend a few trillion dollars as a comfort blanket...and when the next strike comes, what then ? Spend yet MORE money ??

You cant fight an ideal with bullets. The cold war wasnt won by massive invasion / occupation of all the idealogy fighting grounds (vietnam/korea anyone ?).

If you think about what is provoking these maniacs in the first place, there is another way, and it doesnt cost anywhere near that kinda cash, resources, and lives that a war costs.

The war in Iraq is not in response to 9/11. Consider a reevaluation of your propagandized opinion.
