When so many , are so used to rapid fire movies, T.V. shows, were raised on garbage, such as " SESAME STREET " and other kiddie programs, where an attention span , of any depth , is a handicap, then what else can one expect, than for 9/11 to be now " ancient history ", facts of no matter, and consiquences be damned; it's the " here and now " crowd mentality. This, unfortunately, is nothing new. The Nam War was the precursor. The Gulf War, the epitome of in / out , did that, little blood spilled, no harm/ no foul. Tidy war, and a quick one, is all that matters. On to the next war / scandal / gossip. Quick, quick, quick, channel searching as " real life ", and now ....... for something completely different !
This bodes ill, for OBL, the al Qaeda, and other enemies ( including the Dems ! ) , have patence, bide their time, don't care if their goals take 50, 60, or even 100 years to facillitate. Look at so many of the posts on FR ; after even only a few months, so many were chaffing at the bit, to get rid of President Bush. Instant this, and instant that,not to mention Dr. Spock's disasterous child rearing advice, to give children what they want, before they know that they want it, has led to such a banal, infantile thought process .
Your editorial was great, my friend ! :-)
