Sleeping giant . I don't think so
How about a comotose dumbed down populace that voted for Clinton twice and gave Gore the popular vote majority.
The American public has its head up its butt and hasn't the faintest idea of the condition of our military let alone a grasp of foreign affairs

Part of me want's to say," I agree." But the other part of me says " Yes that was true, but we woke up in a different world 2 days ago." Even dumbed down, Comatose people can eventually awaken from their slumber. Yes we have become a society in which half the people are the idiots you have described. However we as humans have the ability to change our actions & philosophy. I don't think that their are many Americans now that don't realize that our defenses are lacking. Not only that, but I don't think that their are many people that don't realize that Comrades Clinton & Gore & the DemocRats are responsible for our predicament. So let's be optomistic and hope that you are wrong and that America can change & react properly to this terrible Act of War that has been perpetrated against us.

Every society in the history of the world has had it's share of drone bees.
Time for those types to move over and let the real workers get it done.
Sorry, I don't agree with you. What you say is partially true, on the surface, but there are still enough real American patriots around to:
1. understand the situation
2. solve the problem

The American public has its head up its butt and hasn't the faintest idea of the condition of our military let alone a grasp of foreign affairs Well, consider America in 1941. By then, we voted not twice but three times for a socialist-loving Democrat. Our military was so pathetic that our Army still had calvary and the Navy was still sailing old rusted-out hulks from the turn of the century. The Air Force didn't even exist yet. What modern stuff we did have would soon be destroyed at Pearl Harbor. Even though a war was raging in Europe, here in America, we stuck our heads in the sand in pretended not to notice. Sure, we'd send a bunch of materials over there for England but we sure didn't want to get our hands dirty. And if you think the general populace is dumbed down now, consider that in 1941, there were so many functionally illiterate people that the military didn't even require literacy for new inductees. The military actually had to put some of their training materials in comic book form.
Well Pearl Harbor changed all that in a hurry.
America has been underestimated before.
