What if 9/11 wasn't about fear of the populace, what if they have been a lot smarter than we have given them credit for? THink about it, 9/11 was only the detonator, america and it's predictability was the powder keg.

the way i see it is, what if 9/11 was only designed to get a predictable reaxtion form the american government. one little attack results america going to war, spending billions of dollors to add to an already bloated deficite, reduces americas world standing in the eyes of civilised countrys, spreads the military too thin, causes conflict in the country. all helping to lead to americas econmoic breakdown and at a time when chinas having a "industrial revolution" and starting too provide us with cheap alternatives which america will struggle to make up in the coming years.

Think about it, the americas predictable gun-ho actions has cost america finantially. economically, and politically far more than the loss of two towers ever could. just think how much americas spent to occupy desert.

it's sheer genious, this attack has made america destruct itself from within, far more than a thousand attacks ever could. 9/11 wasn't the blow to america....it was americas reaction to it which would cause the damage.

i should really post this to cnn....this is good stuff!

Yeah...now there are two less nations in the world friendly to their cause...who are being transformed into democracies which will certainly be more friendly to America. Now Americans have free run over the entire middle east.

Yeah, Sheer genius. Wile E. Coyote would be proud.

the money america has spend 'revenging' 9/11 has cost far more than the attacks

Revenge was not the purpose of our attacks. Therefore the money was not wasted.

the more the US hunt 'terrorists' the more happy the terrorists are.

Let them delude themselves all they want. They are not the first to underestimate us. Their happiness (or sadness) is irrelevant where our defense is concerned. It is not a variable.

There doesn’t need to be anymore attacks if we bankrupting ourselves. The terrorist want to bring down our government. What better way to do that than to sit back and watch us dig our own hole.

Its a lot harder to operate within the USA now. Everyone must be documented,a nyone without proper ID aint getting in.

As for the big budget deficits, they're being financed by massive loans from Asian (Japanese/Chinese) banks. Bush's 2nd tax cut was spent mostly on items from those two countries (TV, DVDs etc...) , trade gap down , deficits up, dollar in free fall, but Saddam is out of power (that cost over $250m and is rising)

As for drastic budget cuts. People are going to have to dig into their pockets to pay for essential services. Unless Bush increases taxes (which he needs to , esp if he wants to oust the mullahs of Iran) then the middle classes are going to suffer. Unintentional sanctions against the middle classes, the last country where the middle classes had to suffer was South Africa, we all know what happened there. Look for guys like Howard Dean to appeal to more & more.

as for what the Brits are getting out of it, they conquered the world by choosing their battles carefully. or letting others do the hard part for them

To think if Blair was able to articulate the case against war 2 years ago....... They say he does it for influence but he has NONE, instead he ends up getting Bush's point across better!

Ahh, so that's why the repubs whine and cry wolf every single time someone questions them. Of course, they're just more positive. Which is why everyone else is evil, unpatriotic, a terrorist, immoral and wrong.

Because they only have negative things to say about America...they ignore the positive things as if they dont exist. But when it comes to Americas enemies...people that are exponentially worse...they DO like to point out the positivie things even if they also point out the negative. This unreasonable bias is why they are "evil, unpatriotic, a terrorist, immoral and wrong".

O/T, but that's what is so cool about racing: there are NO politics, just the experience. You could place G. Gordon Liddy beside Hillary Clinton and they'd still have the time of their lives.

Obviously, you've never been to racing message boards. Trust me, wayyyy too much politics, just of a different sort.
