was 9/11 an isolated incident?

We fool ourselves if we think the worst must be over. These terrorists think very long term. Waiting decades to strike a perfect blow is well within their capabilities. It may be that this one attack was the big one and an isolated incident. It might also be that this is a prelude to even bigger attacks in the years or decades ahead. We just don’t know.

Well, this is exactly why the war on terror is a stupid idea. Bush is thinking in terms of years (or months). The terrorists are thinking in terms of decades or generations - and what we are doing now may well clear out one generation, but it ensures that the next generation will be stronger and even more pissed.

The guy who gave them the money seems to still be alive (but his ability to fund anything from now on would seem almost nil), as might the sick monster who conceived the planes operation in the first place.

I think the idea that Bin Laden himself funded the attacks has been disproven.
