Agreed and we should have gone in, taken out the people who did not deserve to be on this earth (and who attacked America) then returned home, leaving a very strong message that if this happens again you will not get a second chance.
Alas with a country run by spineless politicians, many of whom have never worn a uniform, this will not happen...
