Our enemy has declared war on us. That much is plain fact. Now, do we regard him as a dangerous enemy, or as an occasionally annoying nutcase?

I agree with that.

No, no, no! 9/11 was NOT one occurrence!

That one occurrence is what's at issue. Osama could have kept up the second and third tier harassment until he ran out of steam and, while it would have been sad, it really wouldn't have mattered in the grand scheme of things. What hurt was the monster attack of 9/11, which was in a class of its own and which shook our sense of security and confidence as a country. The other stuff may look like war in Osama's bush league, but it wasn't war in ours.
