Just like Bush said,it will be a long war and we will have to attack terrorism wherever it is.Its been 4 years and the taliban was routed and Sadam arrested,Khadafi is playing nice,and we have found out two of our two faced friends in France and Germany.We have accomplished much and will continue.Either way we were attacking nobody in the 90's yet the attacks increased untill 9-11 but in the last 4 years its been quiet,the reason is because they dont get free passes anymore.They are on the run and have more important things to think about like defending there home land(to bad!)which would not be happening if they did not attack.Its to simple of a plan for someone of a high intellect like yours to understand but very functional.
