You mean like the USA didnt pay much attention to terror in the late 1990s economic boom?  Nobody I know was worried about Osama Bin Laden when many of us were easily earning hundreds of dollars a day on the stock market...

Yet we know what happend, and we know what he was planning just at that time we werent "intimidated"...

Tell me, by your idea of just "learn to live with them" and show them we are not "intimidated" were we wrong to respond to 911 in the way we did by invading afghanistan, improving our intelligence info sharing and upping airline security?

Should we have just shrugged of 911, done nothing, changed nothing and simply moved on?

Oh I see.  So we should have attacked the Taliban Govenernment because they were supporting terror but left the Al Qaeda alone because they were the actual terrorists..

And as for anything else we should have done nothing.  No security changes, no new intelligence efforts, nothing.  Because doing that means theterrorits win..

Well I'm not sure if I am misunderstaiong you..

How can we get the terrorists without responding...  How do we catch them without acting? Without investigating.How do we stop upcoming attacks without spying and interrogating?

Or are you aginst acting to stop upcoming attcaks?

I think your whole theory is nonsense.

We ignored them plenty in the 1990s and look where that got us..

Whats your answer to that simple fact..

I don't want my government to protect me from terroristas, I want my government to hunt them down like rabid dogs and kill them in any way they deem appropriate.

Oh really. So according to GS theory and your little assesment just now it was Clinton's cruise missle lobs at Bin Laden that actually caused 911 because they saw we wouldnt ignore terrorism.. OK..

Still, I dont remember anyone baing "intimidated" by terror in the late 1990's we were all enjoying the bubble economy.   So my critique of GS thory holds..
