[QUOTE=CessnaJock;8594956] And that would probably bring down the economy.[QUOTE]
The terrorsits depend on the economy. Assuming a terrorist group based in SW Asia over an oil resource. USA componies like ExonnMobil buy the oil, pay the terrorists, and sell to USA citizens. The terrorist group uses the money to buy weapons to attack the USA. The USA suffers an Uber-Deppresion. The world cascades into a large deppresion. ExonnMobil stops paying terrorists money to buy oil. Terrorists don't have money to attack USA anymore. USA stops being attacked, it's that simple!
Now why don't we cut out the middlemen--terrorists--and use the resources of the USA to attack ourseleves to stop ourselves from being attacked by terrorist groups. All we need is a certain--stupid--Texan to pay some people to attack the USA, possibly people his family and friends had contacs with before his fathers presidency.
It could never happen!
Note: I am not writing that the Bush Admin helped cause the 9/11 attacks--I feel that the people that write those conspiricies need to wake up to reality--although from this line of reasoning the possiblity seems too real.
