Just because the individual attackers might be from a certain country doesn't mean the US could just start dropping nukes on that country. Thus, the reason terrorism is so affective.
That would be a really shitty situation for the US to be in. Americans would want to see some retaliation, but the people who did the attack died in the attack itself, and if the attack isn't sponsored by another country, then the US is really limited as to what they can do.
Scary stuff huh?

Well, basically the same thing happened with Afghanistan. We asked that those that were responsible be handed over to us. They refused. By refusing, they basically said "fuck you". Now, the Afghan "government" was not a UN recognized government, which I am sure prevented us from acting more harshly against the country. Had it been a true government that refused to turn over those responsible for a major attack on US soil, they are basically supporting terror and should then be wiped off the face of the planet. If a country is truly for peace and one or more of their citizens carries out a major attack against another country, they will turn the terrorists over immediately as well as aid the victim country in gathering intelligence and making arrests within their country. As long as that happens, we'll all be fine.
