A lot has happened in that time to change Mayor Guiliani’s views.

What changed his mind? The fact that he is running for President and needs to fool voters into believing he isn't really a liberal?

What changed his mind? Gee...maybe almost being killed on 9/11/01? I don't know where YOU were that day...I was in NYC, going to work and I can tell you that the experience of living through that HELL changed ME. In fact, it made me MORE conservative than I had been. It made me see and understand what was at stake in this life and it made it very clear to me WHO the main enemy is.

I may have been the only person in my office who "got it" that bin Laden was responsible for the hell on earth we were looking at through our picture windows at our 14th floor office. In fact, when I vocalized it to the guy standing next to me (I said: "Osama F'ing bin laden did this and we're at war and it will never end") he said: "who?"

I was lucky that day though...the 25 or so people I know who were working at the WTC or the WFC mae it out alive. It still amazes me. Almost everyone I worked with knew someone who was killed yet everyone I knew made it home safely. For that, I feel very blessed.

Rudy knew many, many people who were murdered that day. He was almost kileed himself when they were trapped in the building at teh command center. If that doesn't change a person I don't know what does. So yes - a lot has happened to change Mayor Guiliani. I know because it changed ME too. I was there. Were you?
