For some reason you're not taking into account for the attacks on American targets outside the US prior to 9-11: Marine barracks Beirut 1983, East African embassies, USS Cole, Khobar Towers Saudi Arabia. I think these count quite satisfactorily as terrorist assaults. These guys have been trying since 1983 to get a war going with us. After about eighteen years of trying, they got one.

Again UG lumps them all into one giant international conspiracy. According to UG, we must massacre all Arabs due to attacks on Marines in Beirut, embassies, USS Cole, Khobar Towers, 1993 WTC attack, Kansas City, highjacked ships off Somolia, Tehran Embassy hostages, and by the Barbary Pirates.

UG - at what point do you identify each suspect and only go after that suspect. UG never answers this question. "When do we go after bin Laden?" It means we would not have an excuse to massacre so many others.

Instead we should attack Hamas, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Muslims in the Phillippines ... Yea, that will solve all problems. How funny. That is the complete opposite of what UG's recent (and now diposed) idol Thomas Barnett wrote.

UG - still waiting for the publication of "The Pentagon Papers" by Urbane Guerrilla. Clearly history will not be correct until it is rewritten. Thomas Barnett never said that either.
