If the various supporters of the Iraqi resistance knew that any action against the United States would bring certain death for themselves and, in all probability, for their families as well then I suspect that resistance would virtually cease.

Yep, but our fear of Islamic public opinion has us all but completely paralyzed.

Osama Bin Laden and his ilk are at least partially right about one thing: too many of the American people no longer have the stomach necessary to defend either their country or their principles.

They had the stomach up until about a month or two after 9/11, but it dissipated fast. One day (most likely after a terrorist attack on our shores killing perhaps hundreds of thousands of Americans) we'll awaken and realize what needs to be done -- the annihilation of all terrorist orgs and terrorist-supporting regimes. (The Bush Doctrine in practice, not just in theory). Not their "rehabilitation." Not their "liberation." Their annihilation.

If we didn't declare war and mobilize this country on a WW2 level after 911, we won't ever do it. We should have but we didn't after the first WTC attack in '93.
