Roeland Precision surgical attacks require good intelligence on the target (As it's no use having a cruise missile that can pass through a window if you don't know which window to go through to blow up your target) Unfortunately it seems the US doesn't have good intelligence on the people/group(s) behind the attack - otherwise it wouldn't have happened (or at least not been such a terrible "success" ) On Fri, 14 Sep 2001, Roeland Meyer wrote: > > |> From: Barney Wolff [mailto:[email protected]] > |> Sent: Friday, September 14, 2001 1:39 PM > > |> In the long run Islam will have to purge itself of its > |> Crusaders, just > |> as other religions largely have.

A rather _large_ set of "murderous fanatics" many of whom are brainwashed into believing that if dey as a "Shahid" they will go to paradise where they will have 72 black-eyed virgins waiting for them in heaven & have the privilege of being able to request family members go to heaven too (even if un-deserving ) NOTE: I'm not an expert on this not but 1) It seems that a suicide bomber apprehended in Israel en-route to target padded his genitilia so it would be up to the task in heaven despite the explosion 2) You may find it interesting too look up the source of the word "assassin" Say <http://www.geocities.com/skews_me/assassin.html> > > It would be foolish to hate them.
