      As soon as the hated patriot act is revoked we will be inundated with suicide bombers in your very town. I have a sneeking suspicion that the patriot act is working... or maybe terrorists are just lazy by nature and drive to iraq instead of coming here. So make that an either/or. We pull out of Iraq, or the patriot act is revoked.

            We did that already in forty-two. We need to pick a new fresh one. How about Uzbeckistan? I heard from a Khazak that everyone hates them.

              What do you mean? Republicans have not succeeded as they had hoped to, with the "war against terrorism." Bin Laden is still out and about, for example. The terrorists do not fear Republicans as much as Republicans like to think they do.
              One of the terrorists' top goals is getting all infedels out of the Middle East. If they attack America when there is a Republican president again, they know that goal will be near impossible for a long time.

                The terrorists we're talking about do not think or act rationally. Statements like "They know what a Republican reaction to another attack will be. That is the last thing they want" do not apply here. It may be exactly what they want. There is, however, still the question of ability on the part of the terrorists. It's not enough for an aspiring terrorist to want to blow something up. These guys never seem to get an easy break..

                  Longer then a year.

                  If the terrorists really care about the prez, they'll attack BEFORE the elections to make sure the War on Terror will continue unabated.

                  But I doubt that will happen. They have excellent targets in Iraq and Afghanistan to get at the US. There's really no point in risky undertakings on US soil itself.

                    You gave Osama bin Laden exactly what he wanted. You invaded Afghanistan and are now bogged down there, and then you gave him a bonus by invading Iraq, and you are bogged down there.

                    Are you that blind that you can't see what 9/11 was for? Terrorists commit attacks because they want the target to do something in response. Osama wanted you to invade Afghanistan, so he could do to you what he'd done to the Soviets. After a few hiccups it seems to be working.

                      Yes they do. They may want weird things, but they are pretty rational. You've been watching too many Ahnold movies.

                        And you've had your brain set on hold for way too long to be of any assistance in this matter.

                          An interesting theory, but I doubt that Al Queda's goal was to lure the americans into taking Afghanistan from their supporters, the Taliban. Not to mention that due to their actions, "crusaders" now control Baghdad, an important city in Islam, and there has been no general Islamic outcry over that occupation. If Al Queda's plan was to lure the USA into a quagmire where it could be defeated, then it has failed utterly.

                            I guess that is a matter of opinion. US status and stature has dropped considerably in the last half decade. The US is now stuck in Iraq indefinitely (and the "West" is stuck in Afghanistan indefinitely). It seems they were quite successful. All you need now is to elect another GWB.

                              No, Agathon, having his base of operations taken from him and greatest and only open government ally destroyed were obviously not his plans.

                              Perhaps you missed it, but the West and the US in the Middle East indefinetly is the OPPOSITE of what Osama wanted/wants.
