why do you always get so excited when we debate stuff? it's just a thread on the internet, we aren't the heads of rival factions of a political party or something. nothing we say is of any magnitude.
You said it yourself that we haven't had a major terrorist attack since 9/11
so you attribute this to what then? I don't know why we haven't had a major terrorist incident. my GUESS was that most of the real hardcore terrorists went to iraq. we also have poured alot of moneyi nto homeland security.
so, I'd say between those two things that's probably why we haven't had another 9/11. that and no group of people on an airplane would sit still for a terrorist if they took over a plane. due to cell phone technology that didn't even last long enough to get the 3rd or 4th plane whereever it was supposed to go on 9/11.
how am I deflecting anything or weasel wording. how does it serve nay purpose of mine to say what I think a reason for something is?
we should just stop pi$$ing them off is laughable
why? why would people want to retaliate against us if they had nothing to retaliate against us over? al queda hasn't atacked sweden or iceland or many other democratic countries just for existing. i don't think even the most ardent neoconservative would say that our foreign policy is not one of the main reasons we are disliked in the arab world. Egypt is a dictatorship, we support it's dictator. obviously the egyptian people are not going to like us. would you like someone who supported someone who was oppressing you?
[your 'proof' is that they've been at that point of several years, , I pointed out that that idea is illogical, , and you deflected
you still don't understand what the article is saying. the article is saying that iran is HEADED towards having nukes in as soon as a few months, not that their technology is such that they could begin making them now and have some in a few months.
you are twisting the "months away" phrase.
