...it is probably nothing, but it is most indicative of the mind-set of Americans, which is what I was trying to explain to you...

Well thanks for raising it, because that mind-set is the key to everything that's happening. I reckon that if we knew for sure that Bin Laden was dead none of this would be happening. The possibility that he's still out there somewhere has to be preying on peoples' minds. I know it is, on mine. I think September 11 is the date when this President has to dig deep for every ounce of character he possesses and bring some emotional closure to the nation over 911. Explain that the grieving is over, what happened will never be forgotten, but it's time for America to finally wipe away the tears, let the anger go, and get back to work.

You are utterly clueless as to what is driving America at this point.

I for one could give a CRAP whether OBL is alive, dead or living in Sydney. I want to eliminate the forces in this world who do not wish to abide by the RULES OF CIVILIZATION-- the Terrorists. OBL was merely a wake-up call.

Unfortunately, the time to act was seven to ten years ago, but we had a Poll-Watching, Disgraced, Impeached, Serial Rapist, Euopean/UN-lovin'. America-Hatin' Pseudo-President at that low-point of American history.

And, the US(and the World) are paying for it now. But at least we are willing to still take on EVIL.

Closure? Three thousand people killed in a sneak attack and you think the President should work for closure and for all of us to get back to work?

Byron, you do not understand Americans at all. We will hunt these people down if it takes 50 years. We are not going to sing Kumbya and go back to things as they were. Forget it.

What part of "awakening a sleeping giant" do you fail to understand?

Bin Laden is only one of many. We are after them all. Bin Laden is just the poster boy.

"We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail."

That is it in a nutshell. Either you are with us or with the terrorists. Plain and simple.

So, be patient and pay attention. If you can access Fox News in your part of the world, watch the President's speeches. Closure is not something Americans need or want. We want JUSTICE.
