I think the Baghdad's destrudction ( directly and indrectly due to bombings) has been discussed here so i'm not going to touch up on that.
9-11 occured many many years after the incidents of the 80's. Although there are many plots being foiled ( thankfully! ), the stageering number of plots is shocking. Keep in mind we are only hearing about the one's that are being foiled so there is this other percentage of plots in development that the "pre emtive" hawks haven't gotten to yet.
So as time reaches infinity, our safety in relation to time will be approaching zero.
Either way you look at it, this current policy/method of prevention is a short term project. This will not help in the long term.
