911 happened because we treated terrorism as a crime. It is a crime until it is state sponsored. Once that happens we need to deal with that state in wahtever fashion is effective. On the ideology side. This country has a low tolerance for religous zealots when the combine that with guns. All the way back to Joseph Smith and the Mormon movement. Once they built an army and became a threat we mobilzed force and put them down. David Koresh was fine until he started stockpiling wepons. Once he did that we killed him and burnt his church.
