The very act of living in a free society dissuades most rational people from harming the USA. We limit the scope of our WOT because there are 1 billion muslims. This does not mean our leadership fails to see the big picture. Only a fool declares war with inferior resources. It's called strategery. Kill off the enemy without adding to his forces...and for God's sake don't tip your hand when you are winning. I'm sure glad you are not in charge.
We can expect the same, only on a much larger scale.
Time has proven you wrong. It has been 4 years since 911 without attack on our shores. Perhaps you think Bin Laden hasn't yet thought about attacking the USA directly. I guarantee you he has tried and failed many times since 2001.
Tell me something, when was the last time you lived amongst the Muslim people(like in their country)? Have you ever studied their ideology?
I've done both. I don't consider myself an "expert" on Islam, but I can tell you that we are dealing with a highly educated and idealogic group of people her that have vowed to conquer the free world. They won't be successful, but I can assure you that they are not only willing to die trying, but also that they will sccrifice every ounce of blood and energy that they have trying.
Good to know that we're still batting a thousand. You and I have never agreed on anything.
