Answer to number one; Previous admin had no plan for the peace and no plan to deal with these people. Caught with no plan they just hem/haw'd around and passed it off to the next guy. I mean, they had pleanty of time to take care of this, didn't they? Well didn't they? No you want to jump on the one guy who's actually doing something. Right or wrong he's had the guts to take action.
Answer to number two; it was an act of terrorism by a religous group, not a nation. It may have been planned and financed elseware but it took place (at least the ending) in NYC. The world doesn't give radical religous groups the diginity to commit war, they can only commit terrorism, so let's call it like it is and not manufactur something else from it.
Common criminal case? Mass murder of over 3000 people isn't really a common criminal case; this is a special case. But, is it so special that we need to change our values and our laws so we don't offend these people or their supporters? Are we fearfull of our own system?
I'm ready to get this chapter of American life over and done with and am glad to see we're making progress toward that goal.
