There was no terrorism against America until America's foreign policy became captive to the Zionist forces in our nation(both Jewish and Christian). The War on Terrorism cannot be won without first readjusting our foreign policy vis a vis Israel. The Jewish-American lobby and the Jewish dominance in the media are extremely powerful and often subvert America's interest in the Middle East to fit the Israeli agenda. Dean addressed this imbalance in our support of Israel and consequently lost the Jewish backing in the media and the nomination. Kerry understands this and refuses to address Israel's corrosive influence on our foreign policy. Bush, on the other hand, has decided to betray the American people and give Sharon and Israel all they want in order to win reelection.

bin Laden is very efficient. He probably used a few million dollars to train, support and ready the 19 hijackers. Those attacks have caused billions of dollars in damage alone, and 3,000 innocents and 700 troops dead. I recall reading somewhere that the entire 9-11 operation cost Al Queda something on the order of $300,000. Is my recollection correct? If so, the economic damage caused, in terms of dislocation of the markets due to the event, governmental response, and now Iraq, is immense. I have to believe this is what he had in mind when he planned 9-11. Taking 3,000 American lives was likely just a subsidiary benefit in his mind.
