WHAT? Those !#%%#@^ are telling we overreacted with attacking the Afghanists terrorists? If you need my help on telling these wacko's their wrong just tell me. People like them are helping terrorists by making us look the other way again so the islamaniacs can do it again. If the 3,000 innocent lives ended by terrorists on 9/11 was not a justification of our bombing of the Taliwackers, then what is? Not only we protected our people, but also made their people (notibly the woman) more free. Just show these movies (from RAWA) to them and ask them if these things are not worth figting for so they cannot happen again.

The USA has fought for the freedom of my country and it's people and I am forever in debt with those who gave their lives for the freedom of others! It's time again the US is fighting for the freedom of others again!

Not to worry much (yet...) knighthawk.
I should have said that my latest extant niece entered this world in late October, 2001.

But...if the general tide of the educational enterprise in the USA continues on it's
politically-correct, touchy-feeley, "let's not tell the truth because it'll hurt
somebody's feelings" path...I just want plenty of 9-11 images and recollections on hand
to tell the impressionable children that their teachers don't know what the Hades they
are talking about.

So...take five for now...but I'm just preparing for the future when the revisionists start
trying to use their erasers (of either the rubber type or digital) to convince
people that what happened on 9-11 (and thereafter) was really the fault of the USA.

knighthawk,
as a white guy from "flyover country" (Oklahoma/Kansas/Texas) in the
"middle age" of life, I can tell you I am mildly optimistic now.
I've been living in trendy Los Angeles (Brentwood/Westwood/UCLA area)
for about five years. Until about 5 PM of that day, I thought I might actually live in just
a northern suburb of Mexico City (given all the obvious arrivals from Mexico, undocumented
and/or documented).
Then the USA flags came out in such a mind-boggling proliferation like the blooming
of flowers in the spring...let me put it this way...it would have brought tears of joy to
the eyes of Frank Capra (director of many "love letter to America" films).

The utter low point of the country was the sad ending of the Vietnam conflict
(and the shabby treatment of our veterans and abandonment of the South Vietnamese
to "re-education" camps)...and the years of the Carter Administration (no matter how
intelligent/virtuous Carter was).

I didn't think I'd live to see/experience this era's equivalent of a Pearl Harbor.
The only thing that has stunned me more than that is how the country came together and
decided to do something about 9-11.
The USA isn't the only force of the "free world". But the USA does have to have the
courage to lead when the conditions dictate.
