Well, we really are done with 9-11. America won't be serious about the WOT until we are hit again, hard.
Declare war. Do it right. This some of this some of that is due to having not declared war. While we are in a war because of being attacked, a lot of people don't get it because we are expected to keep acting like nothing is going on except our undeclared wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. They are undeclared, technically correct and by the book, but no declaration of war on our part. They should have declared war, it would have been easy at the time. Probably too late now, even though Congress keeps approving funds and the 403-3 shows intent.
