Just a reminder that back then, America made things.

Right here.

Bring back American industries.

"We Tweet"

Not this kid.

We responded by half-heartedly fighting futile wars which we announced in advance we didn't intend to win.

Interesting. The problem is that I still haven't seen a good definition of what "victory" would consist of from the perspective of 9/12.

Nuclear annhilation of all Muslims countries. We could have done that, and indeed still can. Do we want to?

Invssion and conquest of all Arab countries? We could do that too. Then we'd be stuck ruling them. Do we want to?

IOW, before criticizing Americans for not seeking "victory" after 9/11, I think one should provide a definition of what that victory would have looked like.

"What did we have then that we don't have now? "

Easy question. Then we had our factories, now we have exported them to China, Japan, Germany and the world to make a big buck.

But if we exported our factories then we would have lost WW II. Our factory production and Rosie the Riveter made victory possible. What is need now is the restoration of MADE IN AMERICA.

1941, “Those dirty Japs! We’ll show them!”

2001, “Oh what did WE DO to make they hate us so?”

I’m surprised Al Qaeda didn’t try something today.
