I think it is you who doesn't have a clue. You are coming from the assumption that these terrorists are the representatives of a nation-state which can be singled out for responsibility, and punished. That assumption shows YOUR age. That world no longer exists. In today's world thousands of individuals who have never seen each other's faces can collaborate, worldwide, silently and unseen until their bombs explode in your face. When information can be had and exchanged effortlessly worldwide in the blink of an eye, anonymously, you don't need a state.

These people can move out of harms way while US forces are still establishing a front on the beaches, crossing porous borders with little more than the clothes on their backs and a Visa and Mastercard and a laptop computer.
