Contrary to some people's beliefs, we actually have been brutal enough to defeat this type of enemy, just look at history. But, it takes a Pearl Harbor or a 911 to solidify public opinion to support this type of reprisal.

Unfortunately I do not think 9/11 resolved this country the way it should have. Hope I am wrong there but I doubt it. The Americans of wars past had more resolve than most do today in my opinion. We're too soft and like 30 minute sitcom answers.

The resolve will be there, because the Muslims do not rerally understand us. They think they can just keep tweaking us and we will never do anything about it. At some point they will go to far and then Mecca will be incinerated.

I believe that will only happen after a "dirty bomb" incinerates a major city over here. I hope I am wrong but I don't have a lot of faith in the resolve and determination of my countrymen these days.

I agree, I am not sure what it will take, there is clearly a change underway, but people are still too interested in theri 401Ks and watching TV.

If thats what it takes, then that is the price we pay. All we can do is keep talking about it. I hope not, but I still converse with good folks who believe we can reason with these folks and "work out our differences". Well we can't, the differences are just too many.

It is analogous to southern slavery, basically apartheid. It has to be destroyed at the root to be killed, we need another WT Sherman.

Unfortunately I do not think 9/11 resolved this country the way it should have.

How could it? The media wrapped it up & put it in the closet. Occasionally, they will take it out of the closet & parade it across the stage the same way the dems parade Caroline Kennedy across the stage when they need her.

The first 2 things you'll hear after that happens are leftists describing the new changes required of industry to minimize the environmental impact of the radiation and the warning that for us to retaliate with nuclear weapons will cause unforgiveable environmental damage.
