We are there for many reasons Stevo. My earlier point still stands.

So while support for your world view will crumble in such an event (and because of this, there will be those who claim it was a set up by the evil neo-cons) the war on terror will be over, brutally and quickly.

The problem is that both views are correct. At our point in time we need to protect ourselves yet investing in a future of peace would be wise as all this defence spending isn't good for us. Anti-terrorism costs us billions of dollars and they don't even have to commit any acts of violence; all they have to do is exist.
I just can't understand this unconcervative thinking by the right. War is the most expencive solution in every way.
