...but too many folks out there have been convinced that GWB lied and so anything else is incomprehensible and irrelevant to such individuals.
In the absence of a truly calamitous attack, which graphically demonstrates American vulnerability in its physical and economic aspects, the majority of the US electorate will remain oblivious to the Islamofascist threat.
IMHO, the wisdom of a VDH etc. cannot appeal to the masses mired in the process of borrowing and spending themselves to death. It is much easier to swallow the seductive promises of peace and change, regardless of the reality, than to accept the necessity to do the hard and dangerous work that freedom often requires.
9/11 was not enough to convince the idiots who compose the majority of voters that we are facing a dedicated and resourceful enemy who is merely biding its time until WMD can be employed against us.

I read it. I am trying to get my 13 year old son interested in military history at least at the serious amateur level so in 50 years he can debate some of the issues VDH has raised.
What a great interview-I got a good list of books to read over the summer.
