The response to 9/11 came as a nasty surprise. They were expecting more of the same--bleating and apologies--instead of which they got a vigorous reaction, first in Afghanistan and then in Iraq. And as they used to say in Moscow: It is no accident, comrades, that there has been no successful attack in the United States since then. -Bernard Lewis

Vigorous reaction, i.e. Let's Roll, was the right move. Now follow through.

Stupendous piece by the great Bernard Lewis.

)One mans opinion freely given and worth almost that much)
After 9-11 OBL expected two things to happen
1 America would start bombing the Arab world
Causing
2 The Muslims world wide to flock to his banner.

When neither of these things happened he lost. Now it's just a matter of time and resolve to stay the course the President has set.
