Preventing 9/11 by pursuing Iraq in 1991 is a fantasy of hind-sight that completely ignores the facts. The simple fact is the world governmental polices at the time would not have supported it. The governments of Europe most specifically. There was just no traction for pursuing an invasion that would have toppled Iraq.

As for casualties and acceptance, try looking up counts from Iwo Jima or Korea to see just what can be tolerated. We pay these folks to fight, not just get a cheap ticket to college.

Continuing to allow the disease that is extreme islasm, wahabbism and the like, to fester can no longer be tolerated. If they can't grasp the value of coexistance with the west there's really no other choice than to eliminate them utterly. After all, that's what they're convinced they have to do to us.

But then again, the governments of Europe thought appeasing National Socialism was a good thing too. Doubtless they'll be proved wrong again, at a cost far too high, on all sides.
