That is the reality of the situation. If people think the U.S. is going to tolerate several more 911 type incidents without a massive response, they are misguided. People here are not going to put up with what Israel puts up with. 911 constituted a massive response to Afghanistan. If there are more 911 incidents with massive casualties in this country, I believe people here would move for nuclear strikes as a future pre-emptive measure regardless of international reaction. You know the military response put forth to Afghanistan based on 911. Imagine the response if the U.S. is hit with several more terrorism attacks of the same level on the home front.
