>>>I wonder how it would be if 9/11 happened over in...<<<

It happened in America. The one country in the world that is not a country in and of itself, but is a maze of ALL people in the world. A synergy of human beings. A safe haven for those that are not actually here but wish to be here, perhaps because their own country is not safe for them.

The United States of America is not perfect. But it is a beacon for all peoples in the world. It has been not surpassed by any other country.

If, for no other reason, it must shine as a beacon in the light as a possible home for all oppressed people in the World.

So you agree the pretense should be dropped:

in 1998, PNAC sent a letter - co-signed by 18 members, including the unholy trinity of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz - to President Bill Clinton, urging him to invade Iraq, arguing that if we allow Hussein to stay in power, "a significant portion of the world's supply of oil will all be put at hazard." The letter mentioned nothing of liberating the Iraqi people, the Bush administration's current go-to phrase when pitching the war to Americans.

This author underestimates the drive and will of most of the world to just get back to normalcy and trade
Events have a way of rendering statements such as that foolish.

oil return back to the lowest levels in months here . One economic benefit has been seen already.

Back to where it was is a benefit?
