pulling the trigger wouldn't of stopped anything that has happened - the problem w/ the US is we like to get our hands dirty every chance we can always claimed as us being "diplomatic". what this has caused is a region of the world that can't stand us.

don't think us moving into Poland will help us in foreign relations either in the long run.

back to the question i think as someone stated one leads to the other... if we had 9/11 every 10 years our economy wouldn't prosper anyway but i guess in this hypothetical question dealing w/ perfect circumstances. i chose YES.
