wrath said:I agree that it was/is ridiculous. My point is Clinton did not want to risk political suicide by actively hunting down terrorists that have no government/country attached to them. It took the WTC and pentagon attacks to make Americans realize that turning a blind eye just wasn't going to cut it anymore. Look at the **** storm Bush is dealing with now. Clinton certainly did not have the balls for this and at that time neither did most of us.
Of course, China would have been different. China cannot melt back into the shadow of another country after carrying out an attack. They would have no choice but to answer for their actions. Terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda dont have to do this. Rats and roaches prefer it dark for a good reason.

EXCELLENT points...too bad you're dealing with a "negative-nanny" right now...
