Not so sure I'd agree. Even if all that happened in '91 we would still be suffering from terrorist attacks today...maybe even more. No matter what we do in Iraq the terrorist threat will continue as more and more muslim extremeists join the terrorist ranks to fight "the meddling American trying to push their Western ways upon our people" Not saying I don't agree that we SHOULD have finished the job, just saying I doubt it would have made that much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. And I also wouldn't be so quick to think like Iran and Syria are all of a sudden our buddies and on our side or anything even close to that. They may be playing that role like their out to stop terrorism in their countries but I for one am not buying it.
