[Peace] Because of the Kenyan incidents, best for U.S. to back off

There is still another reason the U.S. should back-off plans to hit
Iraq with a full-scale war.

I fear that Al-Qaeda could retaliate with an addtionally similar
dual-attack just like
what happened in Kenya about several days ago if war is waged.

You all probably know that there were two new terrorist attacks in Kenya--
one successful (a suicide bombing in an Israeli-owned hotel) and one
unsuccessful (the firing of a shoulder-held missile at a civilian
Israeli airliner).

This almost dwarfs the terrorist attacks on the embassies in Kenya and
Tanzania about several years ago.

Addendum:

If that El Al airliner were to be directly hit by that SA-7 missile
(fortuantely the missile missed the target),
airline travelers would have been much more scared to fly then that grand
hijacking and suicide missions of multilple civilian planes by Al-Qaeda
hijackers that led to the destroying of the WTC towers in NY on 9-11 in
2001.
