Agreed. After much thought, I have come to the conclusion that we cannot avoid defending ourselves. However, it should be pointed out that we have likely entered the Middle East's vicious circle now, as there must be tens of thousands of children here who lost a parent to the WTC attack.

I am thinking that Afghanistan will likely be a short battle, particularly if there are attacks on U.S. soil with chemical or biological weapons (see below). However, the war will be a long one, as it really is a battle between some of the poorest people on the planet against the riches ones...it's a global civil war, IMHO.

Check this out, from CNN:


"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI has limited the use of crop-dusters amid concerns that suspected terrorists might have been plotting to use the aircraft for another attack, possibly chemical or biological, according to law enforcement sources.

The FBI grew alarmed about crop-dusters after a crop-dusting manual was discovered among the belongings of a man being held as a material witness in the investigation into the September 11 terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Zacarias Moussaoui was arrested last month in Minnesota on an alleged passport violation. Moussaoui was in custody at the time of the attacks.

Moussaoui apparently had raised suspicions because he sought training in flying commercial jets at flights schools in Oklahoma and Minnesota but showed no interest in learning about takeoffs or landings."
