Karen, to even attempt to define 9/11 as a "vexation" is simply beyond the pale. I don't think you really mean that.

You're right. I didn't mean that. I was trying to characterize the overall effort of al Qaida against us, which is more like harassment than war.

Main Entry: ha·rass
1 a : EXHAUST, FATIGUE b : to annoy persistently
2 : to worry and impede by repeated raids

The 9/11 event was, indeed, very warlike, but it was only one event in an ongoing something-or-other.
