Kyros, did you read the entry from Belmont Club which begins

The Democratic convention in Boston underscores how deeply September 11 has changed the political landscape for diametrically opposite reasons. For many conservatives the attack represented the first shot in a war waged against America. In contrast many liberals felt it was the response to the attack that opened hostilities against America; that there was no war except that which we subsequently called down on our feckless heads. John Kerry's slogan to 'restore respect for America abroad' and to 'make it safer' are an explicit accusation that we have created, or at least amplified the danger which faces us now.

Your remarks about our "propping up" the militants puts you squarely in the second camp. Do you really believe that we made the problem worse by fighting back, that the enemy wasn't big enough or serious enough to require fighting? That our response created the danger?
