just to be clear mykalberta, the country that was responsible for Al Quada 9/11 and the growth of islamic militant fundamentalism was and is Saudi Arabia, the country that sponsers the Taliban was and is Pakistan, we have not chosen to move against either.
You mention that there have been no attacks since we invaded Iraq/Afghanistan so the stratagy is working, of course this view fails to take into account that the money and strengh the US has expended in its foriegn expeditions have in part caused the US to teeter on the edge of bankruptcy, when historians look back at 9/11 it will be likely seen as the end of US hegomony and the start of chinas rule.
Countries are ultimatly defended by a sound finacial structure which the US isn't anymore.
