I think francis was just trying to say let's not make the fatal mistake of underestimating our opponents, like we did in Vietnam and like MacArthur did with the Chinese in Korea. It's just common sense, that's all.

A DU fanatic would have said "Bush blew up the Trade Center so he could start a war to enrich his oil buddies," or something like that.

A traitor would have said "America got what it deserved because of our horrible foreign policy which has no regard for human rights in developing countries," etc.

All francis said was, "Let's be careful out there." I've got no problem with that.

"Those, for example, who attended US universities learnt nothing of US history or cultural values, confusing topless bars, which some of them enjoyed, with moral decay and lack of will. The sad fact is that what little they knew of US history and policies came entirely from the country’s anti-American left, which has painted a grossly dishonest picture of America that neatly fitted in with these terrorists’ anti-American dogma thus blinding them further to the political and military consequences of their actions."

I could write for a week about the implications of this, but I'd be preaching to our own choir. Suffice it to say, that maybe, posssibly, the liberals in academia may have both caused the confidence in these infidels to do their diabolical work, and caused the underestimation of the patriotic American-right response that will lead to their downfall.

We have a small group of posters here who are saying that.

Ron Paul essentially said that.

I will go along with the amplifications. I have been a bit upset at the nitwits on this forum either blaming the USA or whining because we haven't reduced most of the Middle East to radiactive rubble.

I want this done and done right. When we are done, I want the bad guys rubbled and the innocent, to the extent possible, free and alive to rebuild their countries without the "help" of the formerly alive bad guys.
