to be honest, right after 9/11, the message to americans should not have been "go about your daily lives, shop and spend money". there needed to be more of an attempt to connect americans to this struggle. not people like us, we are plugged in. and certainly those in the military, national guard, and their families, who are directly involved - are plugged in. but the generic sheeple are not - their only reality is what goes on in their daily lives everyday.
Very true...
Yea, but I have learned that unless something is imminently adversely effecting their loved ones or assets, they are in denial.
Probably...but I think that even President Bush was thinking there would be more strikes..and he was trying to calm people down..plus, he didn't want the whole economy to tank...
Also...I think he was worried about paranoia..and witch hunts..and vigilantes...
Perhaps it would have been better...but, I think it is more the Vietnamization of America....and the Microwave Nation...it if takes too long...it is too much trouble to deal with.
THAT is what I think Tony Snow and others need to stress...that President Bush..from DAY ONE, has said this is going to be a long war...but, if it works, it works not just for the countries in the Middle East...but for us.
