Lots do. Even if the means are limited. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cole_bombing

Notice the USS Cole is still there. I guarantee they're still pissed about that. Not the ship you want to target again. They're likely to overreact.

We are betting on their overreaction. The US was defeated in Afghanistan and it can be defeated again.
