I personally don't think the current wars that we are fighting makes us any safer from internal attacks. I think it makes us even more vulnerable. I think if we would have spent that same time, energy, and especially money on internal security, we would be a lot safer. Not to mention, we would have a lot more soldiers still alive.

Now as far as the original statement, I disagree. I wouldn't ever want another 9/11. I would choose all of the economic disparity in the world over the loss of life like that. I just don't think anything we have done abroad has gotten us any closer to safety, rather just the illusion of safety.

2999 innocent people died on 9/11
4168 brave soldiers have died so far in Iraq and that number will continue to rise as long as we are there.

Please don't get me wrong. I think those soldiers should be honored, but I can honestly say that I don't think their death has brought us one bit of safety. Another 9/11 is just as likely today as it was on 9/11.
