<<Really? Then why is everyone so worried about more attacks?>> I'm not saying that the problem has been solved but I believe even the most worried of us believes that we are in less danger than if we followed his holiness's advice and did nothing....Tell me do YOU think we would be more likely to have another attack in the USA or less likely had we done nothing? <<You're kidding right??? He's telling you what you're dying to do, or about to do is wrong and hasn't contributed?>> Perhaps ...If he were right. Since in this case to defend ourselves or not are the only choices he offered .And his only wisdom is to tell us that defending ourselves is wrong . He has indeed contributed nothing.....Now IF he offered us something better I might agree but where as our response to 9/11 may not have solved the problem even the most casual observer would agree t'was better than doing "nothing" I myself think it went a long way to demonstrate to certain government leaders ( who unlike terrorists themselves do care about staying alive and keeping power ) that they had better not house terrorists who would attack the US directly. Unfortunately well meaning religious leaders often condemn violence of all kinds. In the real world that does consist of both good guys and bad guys sometimes violence is the only way for the good guys to survive.
