You cannot piercieve it as irrelevant because if you do you are very much saying "i dont care about it.. this time."
Look one day the U.S. will be in a slump, it might not happen in our lifetime, but hell it might and for sure it will happen one day far in the future.
And would that be justification for a more powerful nation to attack?
The reason our country doesn't pre-emptive strike on N.Korea, China, etc. is because we know getting invovled there would really really screw things up and have far worst effects. And yes also because our casualties would a lot higher and would not be so pleasing to the public.
But thats besides the point right now. Thing is though, the entire deal with whether its right or wrong should be CONSISTENT. You do not make up rules on one issue then change it to another. You stay as it should be.
Anyways I expect the U.S. to still be seen as the land of the free with justice and all that stuff. I think it very un-US like to act the way it has. I for one think its too much of the gov't playing on the 9/11 fears. People please goddamn get over it. I know those are harsh words but you do realize all of you are just playing into the gov't and using those fears to justify what it has interests in? Sure, they may truly believe it is the right thing to do, but people please at least THINK for yourselves and not keep the past from changing what youwant to do in the future.
Because if you have already changed, then the terrorists have won.
