Doren, Maybe because we left Afghanistan and stopped meddling in Iraq? We're STILL in Iraq. And we were in Aghanistan for 20 years. The terrorists didn't attack us during that period of time. If anything, they might be more emboldened to attack us after the way Brandon FUBAR'd the retreat from Aghanistan, but I'm not going to worry about that too much. I will tell you we are way WAY vulnerable. We've always been. There's no way to protect each and every single potential terrorist target. That's why they're called "soft targets" in the first place. That was part of the reason why I was once a believer in the neocon strategy. Take the fight to the terrorists' home turf. Democratize Iraq, democratize A*ghanistan, and eliminate the problem from the inside out. Of course, that didn't work. Now I'm all for simply kicking the s#!t out of the terrorists without the democracy thingy. Either way, when it comes to the war on terrorism (remember that phrase?), the best defense is a good offense. Tenchusatsu
