First, 9/11 did not involve a nation, but a movement.

Second, it did not involve nukes.

Third, our resources are limited. We cannot go after every threat we can imagine unless we plan on being in some sort of a war forever. Somalia, Yemen, Libya, some -stans we probably do not know about, etc., where does it end?

What domestic terrorist threat have we stopped by going after the lunatic in weird garb in Libya?

Our military is bloated. The money it spends is unbelievable. We cannot afford it and much of what is done has nothing to do with defending our nation.
