My God you are ignorant. For you to say 9/11 is over and done is about the worst thing for anyone to say. If anything we are underusing it. You and sxecrow seem to forget that was an attack on innocent civilians and not a militarty vs military strike. We are now poised to locate any suspect nation which may be a threat to us or any other free country. This is a war which will take years, and there probably won't be a decisive point of victory. Every day we can go without us or our friends getting hit like that is one more small victory, for sure. But to say that we should get on with things and forget 9/11, damn you're wrong. We have an obligation for freedom to take whatever measures we need to. As far as whether they are reactive, they sure are. That attack on us was an attack on all freedom, by anyone against freedom, not just AlQeda or BinLaden. It's really sick that you can just forget about 9/11 and just move on like nothing happened. 9/11/01 and 12/7/41 are just as equally decisive moments in history. The difference is Japan played by the rules of war, and the 18 hijackers didn't. So now the game is different, for sure. Throw the rules out the window.
