The powder keg blew on 9-11-2001.

I cried that day not because 3,000 people I didn't know died. Thousands die in natural disasters all the time.

I cried because I knew that we had been plunged into a global war that would not end overnight and that would demand resolution, not appeasement.

They'd been push for a response for years. Blowing up embassies, ships, etc. 4 targets in one day (maybe more) could not be ignored.

I do not doubt that we have the potential to win. I do not know if the West has the WILL to win.

I cried that day and for months after. And even with my limited knowledge, I recognized that this war would be long and drawn out. A generation or two

Me too.

Also watching New York burning clicked my anger switch.

Good evening.
"I knew that we had been plunged into a global war that would not end overnight and that would demand resolution, not appeasement."

I believe our war fighters know this too. This is why we will ultimately win.
