What about Russia, Algeria, Argentina, Somalia (Pre-US intervention) Kenya, India, etc? By your logic we should close up all our embassies and stop trade with all other nations on the planet because Al Qaeda said so.

OK; I'll refute more of your logic:

Russia - Ever heard of Chechnya? It's been a Muslim independence movement for decades now; The Chechens are now using terror tactics to break away from Russia.

Algeria - I'm not sure what you're referring to here.

Argentina - Nobody knows who perpetrated the bombing that killed 80+ jews in '94. Not a clue.

Somalia - Not sure what you're referencing here.

Kenya - The '98 embassy bombings were clearly aimed at the US; dead kenyans and tanzanians were seen as collateral damage by AQ.

India - Ever heard of Kashmir?
