But the terrorist thugs still don't get it: all their attacks will ever do is make us more determined to crush their evil. Why do they think they can bully us? Because Arafat and his thugs get their way in Israel? Well, that has got to come to a stop too. Someone out there somewhere has an "assasination" with Arafat's name all over it.

I can only come to the conclusion that, in giving the 9/11 attacks the go-ahead, OBL and Co. totally failed to anticipate the severity of the US reaction. After 8 Years of poll-driven foreign policy they may have actually believed they would jsut get a few dozen cruise missiles, etc.

They didn't read enough history.
