Remember these people are religiously fueled - they prefer symbolisum over practicallity.

There are many American base's that are not secret, andrews etc. It does not take a genius to find them and if your going to crash a commercial jet into it then even if shot down there would be lots of damage.
What happened on 9/11 was a huge shock to the US, it should have been a kick in the pants for them to have such a large scale terrorist atack on their own soil and they should have taken a long look at thier international profile. However the US has taken it upon it self so send in a large scale military attack on a country rather than use its Intelligence services to go after the leaders behind it.
Dont get me wrong Saddam and Bin Ladden are terrorists and should be removed from power. Attacking a few countrys whilst doing that? Maybe not the best way. With all the military might the US has why are they still fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan???
For the record I think America is a nice place, they just need to work on their international relations a bit.
