>> Do you really think one horrific attack on 9/11 is worth of two wars costing the lives of many thousands of Americans and maiming thousands more So, you think these two wars were simply "retaliation"? That's not what the wars are about. There was a declaration of war against the United States. That war against us continues as of this date. Our enemy, as it turns out, has all the time in the world. They don't NEED to attack every week or month or year to accomplish their objective. What it important is that they continue to scale the attacks up. The next major attack from AQ, which could come in the next couple years or could come 10 years from now, will likely be a nuclear weapon of some type -- probably, a RDD although a small (Hiroshima-sized) device isn't out of the question at all. While a true nuclear weapon is obviously more deadly, the terroristic consequences of a RDD are very serious. Every major expert on the subject of nuclear terrorism believes that, given our current course, such an attack is inevitable. While it can be stopped the country (really, the world) has to do the correct things to make that happen and nobody is doing the right things. These wars were never about retaliation, either of them.
