Hate to say this, because I will be roundly criticized, but if this is truly a "generational war on terror" then the death of 3000 in pretty inconsequential. Look at the casualties from other US wars...

So, I suppose you would agree that 4,013 American deaths in the Iraq War is 'pretty inconsequential', too??


You purposely dropped the qualifier, if this is truly a "generational war on terror". It isn't, so the deaths are consequential. You are the one that can't have it both ways.

Was Pearl Harbor inconsequential? Of course not. It isn't the body count; it is the very idea that we were vulnerable and we were attacked. Regardless of the number dead, the vulnerability has to be closed -- in the instant case, by killing terrorists and depriving them of future opportunities.


We have more to fear from domestic terrorists.

You are bin Ladens best friend, you and the Neos. bin Laden will sucker your ilk into breaking this country.
