When General Eisenhower first saw concentration camp victims and the ovens and everything, he got so mad he made the Nazi POWs and the local citizens take tours. I watched old film in my REBIRTH OF ISRAEL history class just last night of reluctant citizens being forced to walk past the ovens. Look at California. You have teachers burning the American flag in front of elementary school students and the open rejection of this event's significance grows stronger every day. Look at Salon.com. Already they are returning to the mode of blaming US for what happened to US. I wish we could give New Yorkers a break and put every California liberal we could get in charge of digging through rubble for awhile. I don't need to smell the smell to believe it. But apparently a lot of people are more than ready to get back to liberal business as usual.

I profoundly agree with everything you have said. In 1978 I watched a long series on PBS, aired after midnight in Tucson so the kiddies were in bed and so nobody would accidentally find it, called "The Unknown War." It was narrated by Burt Lancaster, and it was SOVIET footage of what they saw when the camps were liberated. I thought I had seen plenty in my history books, but this footage included stacks of heads, huge piles of human hair, some of the scarcely alive looking at their liberators with famine and torture sunk eyes. Also there was footage of the special machine Hitler had built to drag behind a locomotive to shred the railroad tracks. And the total demolition of Warsaw, after nobody living was left...I never listened to or told another Polish joke. Truly, I do not know how Poland ever rebuilt. When "Schindler's List" came out and friends asked if I was going to see it, I said, no, I saw it a long time ago. These images haunt me and I can call them up right now. I will never forget. May we be so haunted about September 11. May we never forget.

I was always impressed that Eisenhower insisted on filming the concentration camps (Alfred Hitchcock was among the film crew), particularly after all he had seen in the war. But that was something the Germans had done to people who lived in their own country.

The lefty crap in Berkley and Harvard is nauseating. These folks must not have any friends who died, or they might feel differently. My son is a college student and the vast majority of his mates are in favor of some form of retaliation and he goes to a Catholic University.

I certainly understand your pessimism. This country (well enough to elect X42) sat idle while he desecrated everything we all hold sacred. There is every temptation for us to believe CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC will show dead Afghanis instead of our own dead, when the time comes......but think of this...

That day that our President stood on that pile of rubble and told those rescue workers that "the people who knocked down these buildings will hear from us soon" was magical and most importantly unifying. Can you imagine the outrage and disappointment if the media began to show body parts at that moment? I do believe that we have limited time before our country loses its stomach for retaliation....I simply do not know how long that will be.

However, I know this....the man I voted for has the stomach necessary. I saw it in his eyes last Thursday and that is all that matters. he won't give a damn what all the lefties in the media think. Not if he is true to that badge he carries he won't.
