At that time was there an alternative action which the US could have taken ? The people between the Pakistan and Afganistan border are poor so where are the weapons coming from ? How can they buy them ? Who is funding them ? It is now all right for Politicians to say that the USA was wrong why did they not suggest an alternate plan to contain the terrorists ? Had Bushs plan succeeded then he would have been a hero. The only thing that has happened is that because it was the USA the world is forced to take notice and willingly or reluctantly join forces, before 9/11 no one cared of these strikes.
