I don't think that we missed the message tonight, and I don't think Osama and the Taleban missed the message tonight either. The message was loud and clear - Justice is coming, and hell's coming with him!
Go back and read this again, then, please. The writer is arguing that we SHOULD NOT put our faith in "a god of fortresses", but rather repent before God in all due humbleness.
Tonight's speech by Bush was good, but he missed the mark on one critical thing we must do as a nation - what we should have done ever since God let this happen to us (and it may not have been God's will that we suffer, but He would allow Satan to do this, if we needed it): fall on our faces before Him.
Without that, Bush's speech might as well have been to a concrete wall.
I love it!
