Are we caving to AQ threats?

"re we caving to AQ threats?"

The whole reaction to terrorism since 2001-09-11 in most of the Western World has been a cowardly.

A few relatively competent assholes kidnap four airliners with carpet knives and destroy the collective intellect of the Western World by setting fear hormones free. Political fearmongers and warmongers get loose.

Some incompetent dumbass attempts to blow his pants up in an airliner and millions of passengers have to endure the most stupid "security" checks in history.

There's nothing that could surprise me any more, not even a completely pointless withdrawal from an embassy.


We should have said on day one:
So you've hit us once. Well, we've got our professional police to keep you out in the future and our professional intelligence agencies to hunt you down.
We are way too many, too rich, too smart, too advanced and too powerful to be much bothered or even scared of you punks.
A flea may sting an elephant, but it will never ever stop him doing what he wants to do.

And then we should have done what we felt was right, not taking into account any inflated, irrational terrorism fears and completely ignoring what those punks say or write.
