I watched last night and here is the overwhelming message I took away from it. The terrorists declared war on us a long time ago and have been waging that war for over a decade (it actually probably started in 1979 in Iran). The movie made it clear that these people are driven and determined to kill as many Americans as possible in what they clearly considered to be a war.

Forget the blame for a second. If any American watching this movie comes away with the realization that the terrorists are at war with us and have been for a long time, I will be satisfied.

I watched the movie last night and my wife fell asleep early. When we woke up this morning, she asked how it was. I told her exactly what you also took away from the movie. Whether we like it or not, they have been and still are at war with us. We better join together and stop this blaming crap.

I agree with your observation. The Islamofascists were at war with us and we didn't know it was going on, as we should have known. The decision, under Ford or Carter, to scrap our use of foreign human intelligence hurt us as much as the attacks themselves did.

It is fair to point out 8 Years of Clinton had to have more incidents than 8 Months under President Bush. But, it also fair to say President Bush reacted better and stronger than Clinton or the Democrats ever would have responded.

The war in Iraq was needed and necessary, and it IS a part of the whole War On Terror. Change was sorly needed in the Middle East and President Bush did the right thing even though the Democrats demonize him for doing it. History will decide whether this was good or bad but I will support what President Bush did, as well as what he is doing. I believe President Bush has changed the status quo in the Mideast, and history will reflect his actions as being nothing less than historic.
