For any who have the absurd opinion that U.S. actions in Afghanistan and Iraq haven't deterred the terrorists -- please read this quote, from recently captured Al-Qaeda documents:
Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is also criticized in some documents. One letter by operative Abd-al-Halim Adl in June 2002 challenges bin Laden's leadership and blames him for the "misfortune and disaster" brought on by post-9/11 U.S. military actions.
Adl asks the recipient, identified only as Mukhtar, to urge bin Laden to change course and "stop all foreign actions, stop sending people to captivity, stop devising new operations."
Those criticizing the Iraq war have never yet responded to the question I raised back in September of 2003 (and which received one of my first links from Prof. Glenn Reynolds):
The left doesn't want us in Iraq, where we are bringing the fight right to the terrorists' own backyard? Okay - what's their plan?
There's never a word from the left about how to fight terrorism. They can't get enough of saying Iraq wasn't "imminently" going to attack us. (I guess if Iraq was going to help nuke us in a couple of months we were supposed to leave Hussein in peace.) They can't get enough of complaining that Bin Laden hasn't been caught yet. Etc. etc. Okay-what's their plan? How would they fight terrorism? What would they do to prevent another 9-11?
After all this time, the Left has never yet come up with a plan to deter and destroy Al Qaeda, so as to prevent another 9-11.
