People were killed on 9/11, that is true. But there was nothing
conventional about the tactic. In Russia guerrillas killed school
children in their school. The killing part was old hat, but not the
rest.

When confronting terrorists I don't think any government agency
expected a set piece battle. They expect the unexpected like using your
own resources as weapons against you.

The possibilities are endless. It suggests unconventional methods are
needed to neutralize unconventional attacks. Alternatively,
conventional methods can be used in unconventional ways.  Saddam could
be hired to give a class on this.

After all, if it were not for USA wouldn't those Kurds and Siites still
be hiding from Saddam's WMD methods?
