I agree. The flaws with a "war on terror," especially when fought against suicide bombers is you end up killing _lots_ of bystanders. >> If the Jihadists thought they >>would be jailed for life and have to suffer eighty years before they were >>martyred it would take a fair bit of steam out of their sails.

False analogy and lack of critical thinking has hindered your response. A warship is capable of manoeuvre which a building isn't. A warship which is threatened by a civilian airliner in a commercial air lane can move away. I wasn't aware the WTC buildings had wheels. Still, the "might is right" response is enlightening.
