This was a very significant event.

The War On Terror began, IMO with the storming of our embassy and with our failure to declare war in response.

Gee, this was on my mind the past two days and I didn't know why. That desert fiasco may have served a clarion call to the military planners. Out of the ashes of that disaster and Carter's micromanaging, a healthy response.

I just hope it doesn't mean too much war before freedom.
