The problem is that the terrorists never put themselves anywhere where we can fight back. In the case of suicide bombers (such as the 9/11 terrorists), they're dead, and all links with their sponsors are also dead or at any rate very hard to track.
I'm not sure that we'd know where to look for the guilty parties in a new terrorist attack. (It would be tempting, and I live in FL too, so I know what you mean.)
But I think Americans in general, not only on the Krunchy Koasts, but just the average Americans you work with, have been so undermined by the press, particularly in the last year, that I honestly don't think we'd see the same unified reaction this time that we saw to 9/11.
Granted, I may be excessively pessimistic about this, but that's my sense of things. The Dems have done everything possible to destroy Americans' self-respect, independence, and courage, and unfortunately, I think they've done a very good job of it.
The Demon-cats on the far left are almost as "scary"
as the Evil ones in the Far East
I don't think I can agree with you. Suicide bombers are bad but they can be stopped by alert armed citizens as Israel has proven many times. Courage in this country seems to be regional and closely correlates with religious affiliations. Witness the number of country boys who sign up for the military to kill the enemies of their country instead of a free ride to college. For example in the inner city school where I teach, the military has a ripe recruiting ground, but the kids are all angling for jobs as REMFs in the rear areas or CONUS. They want nothing to do with "combat," and care little for this country except what "it can do for them."
