Which measures do you feel have been most effective in preventing another
attack?


You and I have no clue. If we did, they wouldn't be effective.
But, tying up resources and attention of terrorists in Iraq helps.

It also, (and here's where you will flip out) assures our access to oil
(although we are not currently taking advantage of it.) We still get the
bulk from other sources.

You can be as idealistic as you want about it but the security of this
nation is dependent on oil. Until that changes, it's a chess game and our
Achilles's heel.

You are good at asking questions. Let me ask one of you that's probably
uncomfortable for many to answer.
If suddenly the US supply of oil dried up .... Saudi Arabia said "Screw
you".... and the rest of our sources of oil withdrew from the market ....
would you support military action to secure oil for the US?
