The World is not Billy Bob's Rib Pit
Always, the underlying problem is meddling. Bin Laden's guys didn't attack New York because it was a slow morning and they couldn't think of anything else to do. They were furious at US meddling in Moslem lands. You may think, and I may think, that Islam is a primitive faith not well adapted to the modern world. Fine. I may think that hornets do not have an ideal social organization. But I know better than to poke their nest.
