I thought after 9-11, we would all get together but after a while, we are more divided then ever.

My liberal co-worker hated it when 9-11 hapened, because it took so much ammo away from his liberal talking points. I remember there were several days where the liberals sparred among themselves to decide what should be the "intelligencia" position. They finally decided that we should unite against the evil of 9-11 but at the same time try to understand what it was we were doing that could make them hate us so much. (Remember, no real revenge, just self reflection.)

After a period, he went back to total liberal, opposed to war, and the Iraq war in particular, opposed to Israel, opposed to a strong military, and pro attempts to negotiate and appease the Islam radicals.

He still recognizes that we can no longer take the position that "we have no enemies" out there. And thus we can support the military again.

Well, at least with the last line, there is a grain of hope it seems. One person that I'm glad that sees reality, at least on this big issue is Ed Koch, former mayor of New York. We might disagree a lot on many matters but at least he "gets it" on the War on Terrorism and related issues.
