Number one, to save American lives
Number two, to show these craven Muslim radicals that we will destroy all they hold dear.
Number three, to make an example to the rest of the world of what happens to those that attack American soil.
Number four, brutes only respect power, kindness is sneered at by them, so show them what real power is.
Number five, because Americans will not tolerate terrorism, Americans are use to freedom from such concerns and if we have to kill everyone else on the planet to rettain our lazy carefree weekends then so be it.
To say nothing of saving all the spelling textbooks we can find.
They are badly needed by some college graduates...
rettain????

Bingo!
We need to establish that if you treat us civilly, we will reciprocate, and be civil to you. If you leave us alone, we will leave you alone. But, if you decide to cast yourself as our enemy, and make noises about attacking us, we will wipe you off the face of the earth with such unspeakable brutality that no one will forget about it ten generations into the future.
It's the business end of "walk softly and carry a big stick". If all you're prepared to do with that stick is wave it, it's not gonna work. The savages need to know that if they step out of line, they will be crushed without mercy.
Once they learn that lesson, we will be able to get by with merely a wave or two of the stick to squelch future conflicts.
Unless the bad guys know you're prepared to use the stick, you may as well leave it home.
Too many years of leftward "leadership" of this country has left us without respect and without fear.
