Agreed on the first part but let's not go to 9/11.
Europe knew 30 years of IRA in Ireland, RAF in Germany, Red Brigades in Italy, Action Directe in France, ETA in Spain, CCC in Belgium, Red Resistance Front in the Netherlands and that was the left wing part ..... Respecting the many death which was the result of the madness at 9/11, what is the point you want to make with 9/11 ??
For the last part. The only thing I like to stress is that we have to get a broader view at conflicts, the "hardware" aproach is just a (minor) part of conflicts.
Let us go back to rethink the way we can train ourselves and our troops better than we do now.
And dear Ken and William, I would appreciate it that you do not to lift words out of a sentence to react on.
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Like some quote's?? http://thinkexist.com/quotations
“A common danger unites even the bitterest enemies”
“Anyone can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person at the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way - that is not within everyone's power and that is not easy.”
“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.”
