re: What should the USA have done after 11 September 2001?

we should have smashed afghanistan to bits with no mercy what so ever. Then smash pakistan up because they are a worthless pile of shite. After we stomp those two we should have unloaded the rest of our anger on the back stabbing no good dirty saudis. The saudis are tied with the pakis for being the shittiest ally in the history of allies. Stomp a mud hole in those 3 countries and hunt down every single member of AQ with ruthless aggression to prove a point. The message sent would be you frick with America on American soil and you get a beat down that wipes you from the history books.
