It is no secret that there were more acts in the works imediately after, and even up till today. 9/11 was the tip of the iceberg for what was planned, and we did foil some serious plans. How many? No way to know, but I have read some reliable sources estimating conservatively at 500 attacks. Now, you tell me if these attacks could have been foiled pre 9/11.
Every weekend hundreds of thousands of males plan on getting laid. That, however, has nothing to do with their capabilities of actually getting some action.

I think you need to go do some research on embassy bombings, the USS Cole, and others.
Those were not terrorist attacks because they were not designed to cause terror. They were designed to destroy military hardware and personnel.

Pre-emption works, and it has always worker. There has never been a time in history where appeasement to terrorists or dictators has worked, and if you would show me one I would be most humbled.
Read my posts again, tell me where I advocated a reactionary stance.
