Because no one wanted his carcass. Could you imagine the security issues with an annual pilgrimage to his shrine?
I kinda of disagree with you. These fanatics claim God as their motive. We claim peace and 'democracy'.
By the way, what happened to you? Normally I would expect you would be bullish on this op, and disappointed they didn't turn the whole region into a pile of glass.
I am being restrained and pensive myself. I have enough trouble reigning in emotions. I'm all about killing 'em all and letting Allah sort it out.
My wife lost a good friend on the 102 floor, and one of my best friends was on a ferry heading to the WTC from Jersey City, he was late and missed the earlier boat. He lost many of his co workers, changed him forever. I was working in Westchester county, I could see plumes of smoke, and 5-6 guys on the job were rushing to get to their volunteer fire houses in the area. I heard scanner reports first hand. Chilling.
How many soldiers are we going to sacrifice? They wont quit, and dont care about a time line. If it takes 1000 years, they will eventually own us. They are willing to die, give up their children and husbands for Allah. Are we that committed? All it takes is a community, like in Michigan or Virginia, to elect a town councilman, then a congress man or a senator, appoint a judge,then ...Sharia.
Dismal.
