Hi Ish; Re: "So when fighting an ARMY of terrorists protected by a government you send in the police of the 15th precinct?"

There is no ARMY of terrorists. The whole WTC attack was perpetrated by a few dozen people at most. The "soldiers" were armed with box cutters.

It is only by degrading the word "army" to include things like "an army of lawyers", or "an army of salespeople" that you can make the "war on terror" into a "war".

As the Spanish situation well proves, our safety is NOT in the hands of our military, it's in the hands of the FBI and CIA.

<an ARMY of terrorists protected by a government> We did that in Afghanistan and you do not hear an outcry about it because it is legitimate self-defense. In Iraq we did not do that and the outcry against the invasion is global because it had no legitimacy as part of the "war on terror".
