Hmmmm... that's a good point too... except I hate to wait for them to nuke US. I mean, to me the WTC was enough.
The only way this war is going to be won is find out where bin Laden is and drop The Bomb at that location. Anthrax from Iraq? Drop The Bomb on Saddam.
Then some hadith loving Osama idolator from Pakistian will think twice about attacking USA knowing that his entire country will be gone the day after his suicide attack.
If they'd used a tactical nuke instead of two airplanes, the damage would not have been any worse. In fact, it would have been less deadly. The people on the airplanes would still be alive.
We're denying that it's time -- by the book -- to invoke our nuclear doctrine, because we don't want to invoke it.
Until the "leaders" grow the balls to do what needs doing, the enemy will continue to feel confident that we're a paper tiger, and they'll continue to hit us in our weakest points.
And that's our homeland.
