Interesting. The problem is that I still haven't seen a good definition of what "victory" would consist of from the perspective of 9/12.
Nuclear annhilation of all Muslims countries. We could have done that, and indeed still can. Do we want to?
Invssion and conquest of all Arab countries? We could do that too. Then we'd be stuck ruling them. Do we want to?
IOW, before criticizing Americans for not seeking "victory" after 9/11, I think one should provide a definition of what that victory would have looked like.

Leave mecca a smoldering radioactive pool in the desert to consider before messing with us again.
