Don't put words in my mouth. I never said I thought 911 was justified and you're an ass for assuming I do.
What should we have done after 911 ?
Gone to Afghanistan, closed down the training camps, found OBL, and killed any AlQuaida we found, then we should have left behind a small force to be sure none of the above returned.
Second, we should have gone into SaudiArabia (where most of the hijackers were from) and found all the financial backers of militant Islamists, and told the Saudi government that they better wise up and end the anti western BS.
Third, there should have been a serious investigation about why numerous investigations were shut down pre 911 when they got anywhere near the cells that were involved. I don't have time to find links, but, since many of you will think this is BS, search John Oneal FBI, search AbleDanger Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, there are others I can't think of at the moment.
I would have done a serious investigation about how hijackers who were already on terror watch lists were able to get visas to enter the U.S. http://deadlinelive.info/2011/02/08/...to-terrorists/
I would have done other things like bolster intelligence to find any future threats, but what I would not have done is misdirect our military to Iraq, I would not have passed the Patriot Act, I would not have scooped up thousands of mideastern people without charges and warehoused them for years only to end up releasing the vast majority of them because there was no reason to hold them in the first place.
The list goes on.
