Correction -- We lost 3,000 people on 9/11/01 due to our lack of focusing on the United States.

Any U.S. response to 9/11 that does not include the sacking of every incompetent bureaucrat in the FBI, CIA, INS, etc. is both inadequate and misdirected.

So basically what you are saying is that there is no danger of any radical islamic or radical dictatorship in the Middle East developing WMD.

Am I right?

Pakistan has already developed its own nuclear arsenal. I don't necessarily see this as a good thing, but I'm not taking a month off from work to dig a bomb shelter in my back yard, either.

The irony of the situation in Iraq was this -- the U.S. probably had a far better chance to control the development of WMD's in the Middle East when Saddam Hussein was in power than it does now.

WMD are to nations what guns are to individuals.

...and an armed society is a polite society.
