Just because we didn't SEE to many terrorists befor 2001 doesn't mean they weren't always there. It is just that only now do we go to fight them.
1. Assumes facts not in evidence. There is no reason to believe that the AQ members in Iraq aren't NEW. After all, the senior leadership (the people that matter) are safely in Pakistan. Why go to Iraq?).

2. Proof that these people were hiding in the closet? Musta been a big closet, and the average member must have joined at age 9.

3. There have always been terrorists. Unfortunately, even the Pentagon agrees that there are more now that there were in April/May of 2003, in AQ alone.

Problem is, you can kill all you like, they'll just make more. If you don't get the planners and the money men, you haven't succeeded at all. Assuming that only 1% of Muslims are extremists, and given a 4+ birthrate, there is literally an endless supply of dumbasses on the ground.

Which is why you always lose a war of attrition in counter-insurgency. Always.
1. Alqaeda isn't a country, it's a religion. It's everywhere even Saddam fought Alqaeda who was trying to grab power in his country.

2. well i have pics of kids under the age of 9 with assault rifles yelling death to america sounds good to me. These people are raised that they MUST fight us.

3. And ignoring them rather then fighting them is a way to solve that?

Killing may not solve anything, but it can slow it startegicly, not killing lets them keep soming and keep killing US! Stopping fighting them will not stop them.

So your saying america can not exist as a country forever because they are growing to fast? Isnt that all the more reason to fight while we can to keep them at bay longer?
