And don't forget 911, I didn't look to, me the Last couple of years, that the Americans are withdrawing their troops from Sauidi Arabia and Kuwait (one of the Al Qaida demands).
In the contrary, since 911 there are even more troops in the middle east.

So my opinion is that bombing cities has 'usualy' the oposite effect.

Well as a person living in America, I can tell you that it did have the effect that al Quada was hoping for.I currently go to school in philadelphia, and anytime the terror alert is raised, it seems like a good deal of people(not all) become afraid. While right off the bat, everybody in this country was waving flags, had ribbons on their car, etc.

Now, 9/11 is mentioned occaisionally, but the will to fight seems to be diminishing. People here seem to think we have a better chance just sitting around trying to defend an attack, which may work at first but will ultimately fail because all it takes is for one man to get through to create chaos. And The U.S.'s joke of INS service will let that person through sooner than you think.

There may be even more troops in the middle east, but what are they doing? While Bush had the right idea of taking out the terrorist networks, he went about it the entirely wrong way. Its like using a broadsword to remove a cancer. It'll create a bigger mess before it gets the job done.( despite not agreeing with bush on everythign, I will still vote for him. IMO if Gore(or Kerry) was in office during 9/11, we would be in a lot worse position. Of course, that is all speculation and personal opinion. Worse thing about american politics, you can only choose the lesser of 2 evils)

That being said, sorry. I didn't want to go to current conflicts and politics because the "debates" usually become nothing more than name-calling contests and in the end it just creates a divide between people. I was just trying to prove that a small group of people willing to brutally attackt the population of countries can wage a somewhat succesful war against a country that would obliterate them in conventional war.
