They will, but man's seemingly inexhaustible capacity to commit violence against other humans will first be put on grave display, yet one more time.
Unfortunately, I believe you are right, Cow. I never thought that so many Americans would forget the horror of 9/11, but many clearly have.
The Dems and media have succeeded in lulling too many people into lethargy by saying there is no threat, and by placing the blame on President Bush.
In a sense, the President is being punished by his own success. People have begun to feel safe because there have been no attacks, and do not realize all that he has done to make sure that hasn't happened.
It's a strange situation, and I hope we're both wrong in thinking that only another attack will make people get serious about this threat, and this very real war.
