Yup and how many Afghan deaths?? Lots of civilians caught in the crossfire, collateral damage from both sides-yes the Taliban have targeted civilians too-not just collaborators btw. A lot of our lost freedoms too can be traced to this damn "war on terror". I am wondering of they would not have been better off under a communist government.

No I'm serious.

Yep, Patriot act, NDA, Sending thousands of troops to fight overseas and spending trillions of dollars is how you expand a government and geo political empire, its not how you beat terrorists, if anything its just playing right in to their hands, if the objective of 9/11 was to lure America to war in the middle east -then by golly they got two for the price of one!

Abit of tighter airport security IS ALL that was needed to prevent 9/11. No box cutters? No problem! And Killing the mastermind(s) is ALL that was needed to avenge it. the rest is just complete and utter nonsense.
Our goverments know exactly what they are doing here, and I dont think it quite matches the glowing perception that is often sold to us.
Make no mistake, terrorists are not the only ones who know how to play dirty, compared to us they are just amateurs, we know how to get what we want and look good while doing it.
