I'm amazed at how many people have forgotten what 9/11 was like.

I'm not sure 3 million dead on our soil would change the minds of the Liberals.

I'm not... We all know how short the "memory span" of the public is, and don't forget how the media has done all it can to "sanitize" the events of September 11. How many times have we seen the photos of people leaping to their death from the towers. Or how many times have we seen body parts on the streets below. Frankly, I never saw either of these, except on the web. The MSM has NEVER shown the direct results of the attacks. And more importantly, they've NEVER mentioned that this could have been far worse. Had the planes struck at around 11:00am, or between 2:00 and 4:00pm, and had the towers come down immediately, a death toll greater than 50,000 would probably have been the final count. Even more had the subway and PATH tubes been flooded (which nearly happened).

Again, this is the sort of thing that would have whipped up anger and support for the war, and that's the last thing the media wants.
