		<description>A violent response against those who organized and planned the attack is the only appropriate action and impulse.  Anything less is seen as weakness and encourages more attacks.  9/11 was preceded by earlier attacks and Osama explicitly stated that the lack of response to those attacks emboldened him to do more.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Doesn&#039;t mean it justifies invading Iraq, but that&#039;s a different and complex issue.  Saddam was shooting at US troops long before 9/11 and we were already spending significant dollars to deal with him.  I don&#039;t think the invasion was a good idea (especially the staying part), but the status quo wasn&#039;t very attractive either and I have yet to hear anyone propose a solution (even in hind-sight) that didn&#039;t involve US troops in Saudia Arabia for years on end and waiting until Saddam&#039;s nutball sons were in charge.</description>

		<description>These comments are amazing.  The US has done more to help the world than any power in hundreds of years.  Regarding Iran, somehow people forget that we were involved with and in Iran due to the Soviets and oil.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Around this time, the Islamoterrorists awakened and realized that they could affect us.  Carter showed them how weak we were; they took advantage of it.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They have no trouble trying to affect our way of life. Somehow this concept seems to be lost on many of the commentators here.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Every time we interact with other countries we are affecting things.  Look at Obama&#039;s terrible response in Honduras. Why are we coddling Socialists?? Aren&#039;t we affecting the future of Central America by supporting the exiled crook and Socialist Zelaya????&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In every case, we have to make a moral choice. In normal times, we mostly made the choice that worked to advance freedom. In the case of Honduras, Obama&#039;s choice seems to be the opposite of what is right.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Being a Super Power means that every most choice we make affects other countries in somewhat predictable and unpredictable ways.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I come to this blog every once in awhile and I have to admit that it&#039;s sometimes difficult to see how the thinking here works to make things better. There seems to be a lot of rear view mirror thought along with an inadequate view forward. I could be wrong; I&#039;ll keep reading.</description>

		<description>To think that we, as a Nation, did nothing to bring on an attack such as 9/11, is nothing but pure arrogance. You can&#039;t keep meddling in other countries affairs, constantly trying to manipulate things to your so-called advantage, and then expect no consequences for those actions. What is the term...for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Well....you bully people, you&#039;re gonna finally get bullied back. And how did we respond? We bomb a nation that did NOTHING to us on 9/11 and was in no position to do anything to us. THAT is what we should be looking at. We argue about Saddam and his treatment of people, but we used a national tragedy that he was not part of, to in turn blast that country to pieces. Wrong response, and anyone who thinks we should have gone in there doesn&#039;t have a damn clue about anything.</description>

		<description>Osama Bin-Laden did not object to american foreign policy for the same reasons a liberal secular anti-imperialist like yourself might.  We may or may not have been &quot;innocent&quot; before 9/11 (although many of the examples you cite are more complicated and morally gray than you make them out to be), but Al-Qaeda had a very different definition of innocent, one that we shouldn&#039;t worry about living up to.</description>

		<description>Disingeneous, Karol, when you use a loaded word like &quot;Islamofascist.&quot; Fact is, as I wrote in an op-ed, more people die every couple of months from diabetes -- enough more that many of the deaths are preventable -- or from DWI crashes than from 9/11. And, yes, there&#039;s no hubbub.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for the term, let&#039;s use, say &quot;Christianofascist&quot; about the likes of people who shot Dr. George Tiller and see where the conversation heads.</description>

		<description>Technically, that&#039;s only what you are discussing, since Wil did not say we should pretend 9/11 never happened. How can I be so sure? By reading what he wrote:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;The United States was a better place on September 10th, 2001. We should not forget what happened the next day. Nor should we forget the wrongs the United States has subsequently done. That September 10th is long gone. But there will always be another one.&quot;</description>

		<description>First of all, you are historically incorrect, given the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_bombing&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;1993 World Trade Center bombing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Second of all, your argument is silly.  Try this: American security against Japan was clearly good prior to Dec 7 1941 because there had been no Japanese attack on US territory before then ... No one mounts that sort of argument because everyone understands that Japan had to develop the intent to attack the US.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The &lt;i&gt;jihadi&lt;/i&gt; intent to attack the US was clearly demonstrated in 1993, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_United_States_embassy_bombings&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;US embassies in 1998&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cole_bombing%22%3EUS&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cole_bombing&quot;&gt;US&lt;/a&gt; forces in 2000&lt;/a&gt;. Leading up to 9/11 itself.  By taking the campaign to Iraq and Afghanistan, the &lt;i&gt;jihadis&lt;/i&gt; have been pushed back to mostly killing fellow Muslims, which has tended to undermine their support among Muslims.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Not so in Europe, with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrid_bombings&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Madrid&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_bombings_of_7_July_2005&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; bombings. But Europe has a bigger problem among its (larger) Muslim population than the US does with its (much better integrated) Muslim population. So, actually, it does mean something that there have been no substantial attacks on the American mainland since.</description>
