And if we sat around a table and called muslim leaders and decided to withdraw our presance from anywhere in the middle east we would have been seen as weak and osama would have been empowered by that.
As for the rationally thinking pro-western turned islamic fascist suicidal bomber because we killed their families, ask the LIVING family members of the london attackers why their children, husbands, wife blew themselves up and murdered all those people if they were still alive?
Their minds were poisoned by their 'spiritual leaders' not because we killed their relatives. Their relatives now fear for their lives because of the destruction their kin caused.
