I think if we we were going to react, it should have been in such an overwhelming manner that the entire world stood back in horror and awe at the level of destruction, death, and complete desolation the US leaves behind against any foe stupid enough to attack us. Our response should have made it clear that to attack the US is the same as committing national suicide. As the famous phrase goes.... "Let them hate, so long as they fear". Had we done that, the "War on Terror" would have been done in a matter of months.

What exactly are you suggesting? Surely you know that we were attacked by a terrorist organization, not another super power. No one thought for a second that Al Qaeda could take down the US.

As "RIGHT" as this may sound...It would Have caused enough problems world wide that it would have ended up hurting this country in the long run......

What you are describing is shock and awe, and I agree.
