Another anniversary of 9/11 is near. It's been nearly six long years since a catastrophic attack on our shores, and we've understandably turned to infighting and second-guessing — about everything from Guantanamo to wiretaps.
But this six-year calm, unfortunately, has allowed some Americans to believe that "our war on terror" remedy is worse than the original Islamic terrorist disease.
We see this self-recrimination reflected in our current Hollywood fare, which dwells on the evil of American interventions overseas, largely ignoring the courage of our soldiers or the atrocities committed by jihadists. Our tell-all best-sellers, endless lawsuits and congressional investigations have deflected our 9/11-era furor away from the terrorists to ourselves.

IBD editorials nail it EACH TIME!
Oh, and the “experts” said the US should listen to Ron Paul and Dennis Kusinich, lol!
Sick, sick, sick.
Actually, Victor Davis Hanson nails it each time...he opens his mouth. :)
They sure do
“Two things seem clear here: (1) There have been, and are now, plenty of Islamic terrorists and their helpers in the U.S., and (2) we are dangerously shortsighted about the ongoing threat they pose.”
Yes. We. Are.
Victor Davis Hanson gets it (as per usual). I wish that he could spread it around—like cold germs.. This country has become largely apathetic. It is only a matter of time.
That's because the "me generation" is so self-absorbed. Which is also the reason for the irrational belief in man-made global-warming.
Yes they do. The best was the 9 part series totally destroying Jimmy Carter, the all time worst president ever.
The best thing is the editorials do NOT require registration!!
So you say the self anointed “Intellectuals”, “Progressives” cannot comprehend VDH’s “Uber Intelligence” eh.
Actually if you see the scum at say an “A.N.S.W.E.R.” rally these so called “Intellectuals”, “Progressives” associate with, I guess you could understand why they think of themselves as “Intellectuals”.
I’ve been listening to LK, too, and couldn’t believe what I heard coming out of Michael Scheuer’s mouth. LK thanked the “amazing panel” he had on tonight, lol! If only he’d had Victor D. Hansen on as well, it would have been more balanced....
I am sick of all of them, since right after 9/11, terrorist “experts” have told me NOTHING that I did not know before, or would know out of common sense.
It is completely obvious that the networks call only hacks, or some guy that looks about 12 years old, and wasn’t even BORN when we watched the horror of those Israeli Olympians being kidnapped and murdered by Islamic cultists.
This is really getting dangerous, seriously, the public has not a clue!
At least Steve Emerson is on FOX frequently, and I have seen him on other networks. There are a few other intelligent and sensible experts out there, too, but not nearly enough.
