How different people's reactions are to an attack. The US, Britts, Aussies, and now Jordan, solidify their strength and try to attack back. Spain run away. French, who appeased the attackers, was still attacked albeit in a different form. True to their instict... the reaction was to appease even more.
Years of Clintonian neglect led to our involvement. Thank God Kerry didn't win or we would be appeasers too.
