I never said you equated the two. I would say you're a bit naive (and that's not a moral judgement). If Al Qaeda had been smart they would have waited until they took over Pakistan's government and gained access to its nuclear arsenal. Then they could have killed millions of Americans. If they don't end up killing many more Americans - or other nationalities - its because they're being hunted down, no thanks to you.
