Got to love George Will, "General Howe was not the first or the last to underestimate the staying power of the America people."

The leftists continue to talk about the costs of waging war against and maintaining a presence in Iraq. What did 9/11 cost the US economy so far? I suspect much more than $100 billion when you count not only the direct costs repairing the damage, but also, the indirect costs to the travel industry (airlines, hotels, restaurants, merchants etc) as well as the increased security costs (federal, state, and private) and the stock market. Our economy (and the world's) can't afford too many 9/11 type attacks. Imagine, these guys were armed only with box cutters. What would happen if a bio or chemical attack were launched in the US?
