A "lest we forget"..."I got here via a link from another 9-11 thread someone bumped today"...bump...

It's funny that you posted today, I just happened to reread some of the threads today before your post, thinking about the war, and as always, I had to wipe my eyes dry.

"Why we fight" -- people can't see that we are in a world war. Can you imagine peaceniks in 1942 going to Berlin to stand with Hitler? We have thousands of Jane Fondas now. And they are all so hopelessly clueless. We are once again in a war not of our choosing, but one we must win. The way to win this war is to remake the Arab world. Afghanistan was simply a radical Arab outpost. If the Arabs (and you can toss in the Persians) don't become civilized, there will be nuclear war in the future, because too many of them cannot be deterred.

If not now, then when? This is the moment, and this president sure seems to have "the vision thing" his dad lacked.

Just my rant of the day.
