The attack on 9/11 was clever. They noticed that airplanes are large missile weapons, and that the dogma towards terrorist attacks on planes didn't take this into account.

Remember the lesson of UA-93: it won't work again. Terrorists can't use a jetliner of Americans as a manual missile, because the people on the plane won't let them anymore. So a terrorist who attacks a plane can, at best, blow up the plane.

There are some other instances of "use infrastructure against them" tactics. LNG supertankers, factories that use dangerous chemicals of various kinds, and other things of it's like. But those are being watched, and in any case they wheren't as good a target in the first place.

It was well known how to take over an airplane before 9/11.

Even in Iraq, currently the resistance forces concentrate more on soft-target Iraqi government, and not on harder-target American forces.

Alan, It isn't the job of the military to tell the government and the people to use them. Militaries who do this are dangerous to the very people and government that pays for them.

That is the road to Fascism -- where the people exist to serve the military, and not the other way around.

Did Tet "shake the resolve" or "wake up" the American people? When the government feeds the people constant lies, when those lies are shown to be blatant, and the people react by rejecting the policies of the government -- that is known as the rule of the people.

When a war founded on lies fails due to lack of support, you should blame the lairs, not the people who point out the lies. Unless it is your opinion that the American people should be ruled by deception?
