We all know polls can be misleading but the one thing I see in them all is the American public knows this will not be a quick war. They still approve of President Bush with over 90% so the message has gotten out that we will take some hits along the way.

I agree with you america-rules. As frustrated as we can get with our politically disengaged and ignorant fellow citizens - they have common sense. This terroristic scheme was so brazen that no-one - here or anywhere else around the world - could ignore the "potential" of the threat any longer. It's here, it's real, it's accepted. The hubris of this outrage will be the undoing of the network. Just like the "St. Valentine's Day" massacre was so high-profile it mandated the elimination of Al Capone. It was the "World" Trade Center. 80 nations lost their citizens in the attack. We will take casualties, military and citizens here, but America will prevail. The thugs need to be killed, the despots removed by their people, and economies need to be rebuilt in a 21st century Marshall Plan. We'll win.
