[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 687389, member: 8259"] I was thinking about your stand while at work tonight. First I think that when a Muslim nation invaded Kuwait and other Muslim nations asked us to lend a hand and help out which we did is nothing more than an excuse by the religious groups to attack western targets. The same type of excuse could have been used by them if we were asked to help and refused. I did a quick search and found some Muslim attacks on Americans from before 93 and there are more but these seem to be good examples although I realize if you want you can make an argument against any of them. In my opinion 9-11 was nothing more than a target of opportunity for AQ. I have never accused them of being smart like some on here have and I believe strategically their attack was a failure. If for no other reason than those attacks opened a very large can o whoop on them. They failed to collapse our economic system, failed to disrupt our military command and control to deter a counter attack, and failed to take out our nations leadership. I also find it unreasonable to say that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 but in the same breath claim AQ attacked us because of Iraq. There is a term for this line of reasoning and it honestly slips my mind right now. I'd love to get an invite to a BBQ but this weekend I'm cooking for the girlfriend. I'm gonna go Cajun with a roasted pork loin and jambalaya with a nice bottle of wine.:wink2: [B]November 1979[/B]: 2 dead at the U.S. embassy in Islamabad. ] [B]April 1983:[/B] 63 dead at the U.S. embassy in Beirut.
