Do we have the manufacturing and national mental capacity to follow through an ensuing attack and the likely war if that kind of attack happened today?
The rage of 9/11 seemed to wane after a couple of years.
Is it because no particular national force could be associated with the attack on civilians? Or is it because people are conditioned that it is unacceptable to “hate” anyone regardless of their antagonistic ways?
Thanks for posting this rememberance. Our nation has a lot of soul searching if we are to continue resisting tyranny.

Or is it because one political party saw that they had to bury that rage to regain power?
How would the world be different if starting on 12/8/1941 the Republican party made it their policy that they would do everything possible, including losing the war with Japan and Germany, to get control of the Congress in 1942 and the White House in 1944? What if the constant drum beat was "Why have we gone to war in Germany when the "real war" is against Japan? What if a significant portion of the Republican Party insisted that Pearl Harbor was a set-up, that there weren't even any Japanese planes there?
