maybe al-Qaeda felt emboldened by Clinton's apparent drawback on defense.

weren't they "shocked" when Bush took out Afghanistan? after the relative bye they got on the WTC bombing?

Those are the people who have something to defend i.e. the rich.

No, that's false - we all have a stake in it - that's why the waste and corruption of the defense industrial complex is so bad. They are risking our lives to rob us.

(Also, I'm sure that the citizens of Ciudad Juarez would rather defend their city than station troops thousands of miles away to defend another city.)

Yes. That must be it. With just a couple more submarines and fighter jets, I'm sure 9/11 would have never happened.

i recall reading that they were "shocked" at the violent US response to 9/11, understandable given the wimpy Democratic responses to the WTC bombing.

So, what about those terrorist attacks after the wimpy responses to the London and Madrid bombings?
