And yet we denied them the ability to carry out large-scale attacks in the US for the next 20 years.
- mistermann 5y agoCausality if far more complex than perceived by the subconscious mind.
- Ozzie_osman 5y agoThe cost was quite high (financial, US lives lost, local lived lost). Perhaps there were better ways of preventing large-scale attacks on the US?
- pstuart 5y agoThat's a rather Panglossian take. We sacrificed more lives than were lost in the initial attack. And then there's the financial cost which is astronomical. We had the chance to stop that attack and fucked up. And now we've handed over control to the Taliban, the very same "freedom fighters" we helped to create. If you think that's victory then you're mistaken. Meanwhile the greatest threats to America are from internal terrorists.
- atatatat 5y agoVegas, et al weren't considered large-scale?
- pstuart 5y agoIndeed. The biggest terrorist threats we face are domestic.
