we're already target practice.

Leaving them alone will not make them go away.
They'll just be emboldened.

It's like the world is full of people subject to
some grand scale Stockholm Syndrome.

If we're really nice to the terrorists,
maybe they'll leave us alone. After all , we identify
with them now, so maybe they won't kill us..

Like that's gonna work with fanatics.

As for private agendas, I daresay there has
never be a single war fought in history where
only one purpose---the articulated primary purpose--
was the only reason for the conflict.

There are layers of reasons.

The question is whether the primary reason is
valid.

Finally, I disagree as to your first question.
If we made a mistake in 1991, is that a reason
to repeat it now?

Saddam had his chance to comply, but instead
blithely went about doing as his pleased.
