We can 'will' away our dangers by returning everything to normal, to pre-9-11, in our minds subjectively and feel good about, but are we really in for another rude awakening since our internal attitude is divorced from the large objective reality, which is, the enemy is still seeking to wallop us but good.

When one side wants peace and the other wants victory, the peace-side will lose. We have to want victory as much as they do.
