<<"What matter if they hate us so long as they fear us." >> Yes indeed but our careful response ,time spent on gaining international support,etc. did not produce the fear needed. In effect we asked the international community permission to fight back.No one respects a victim who will hesitate to fight back no matter how powerful. Everyone respects rage generated from such an unprovoked heinous attack. An explosion of such rage would not only have generated fear but also gained respect. The terrorists themselves cannot of course be intimidated. But the leaders of nations such as Saddam can be. Saddam lives the good life with a dozen palaces etc. He will not give up power for an ill fated attack on the US generated from Iraqi soil.Talaban leader Omar himself did not live in a cave but a palace.9/11 may well not have happened if he had suspected his personal outcome.Without the support of terrorists nations supplying both staging and training grounds the ability to pull off large scale attacks will be nil.
