This is a great piece.http://www.philly.com/dailynews/colu...ther_9_11.html

To save America, we need another 9/11ONE MONTH from The Anniversary, I'm thinking another 9/11 would help America.
What kind of a sick bas would write such a thing?
A bas so sick of how splintered we are politically - thanks mainly to our inep ude in Iraq - that we have forgotten who the enemy is.
It is not Bush and it is not Hillary and it is not Daily Kos or Bill O'Reilly or Giuliani or Barack. It is global terrorists who use Islam to justify their hideous sins, including blowing up women and children.
Iraq has fractured the U.S. into jigsaw pieces of competing interests that encourage our enemies. We are deeply divided and division is weakness.
Most Americans today believe Iraq was a mistake. Why?
Not because Americans are "anti-war."
Americans have turned their backs because the war has dragged on too long and we don't have the patience for a long slog. We've been in Iraq for four years, but to some it seems like a century. In contrast, Britain just pulled its soldiers out of Northern Ireland where they had been, often being shot at, almost 40 years.
That's not the American way.
In Iraq, we don't believe our military is being beaten on the battleground. It's more that there is no formal "battleground." There is the drip of daily casualties and victory is not around the corner. Americans are impatient. We like fast food and fast war.
Americans loved the 1991 Gulf War. It raged for just 100 hours when George H.W. Bush ended it with a declaration of victory. He sent a half-million troops into harm's way and we suffered fewer than 300 deaths.
America likes wars shorter than the World Series.
Bush I did everything right, Bush II did everything wrong - but he did it with the backing of Congress.
Because the war has been a botch so far, Democrats and Republicans are attacking one another, when they aren't attacking themselves. The dialog of discord echoes across America.
Turn back to 9/11.
Remember the community of outrage and national resolve? America had not been so united since the first Day of Infamy - 12/7/41.
We knew who the enemy was then.
We knew who the enemy was shortly after 9/11.
Because we have mislaid 9/11, we have endless sideshow squabbles about whether the surge is working, if we are "safer" now, whether the FBI should listen in on foreign phone calls, whether cops should detain odd-acting "flying imams," whether those plotting alleged attacks on Fort Dix or Kennedy airport are serious threats or amateur bumblers. We bicker over the trees while the forest is ablaze.
America's fabric is pulling apart like a cheap sweater.
What would sew us back together?
Another 9/11 attack.
The Golden Gate Bridge. Mount Rushmore. Chicago's Wrigley Field. The Philadelphia subway system. The U.S. is a target-rich environment for al Qaeda.
Is there any doubt they are planning to hit us again?
If it is to be, then let it be. It will take another attack on the homeland to quell the chattering of chipmunks and to restore America's righteous rage and singular purpose to prevail.
The unity brought by such an attack sadly won't last forever.
This traitor should hang high for treason.
God, the 9/11 unity movement lasted for about two weeks. It's depressing to think about now. For two weeks, we all put on a big show, then went back to our petty, gotta-get-mine bull .
"It is not Bush"
Bull . dubya IS the enemy of America. His bull war in Iraq is profoundly counter-productive to the war on terror, even promotes the war on terror. Like so many other lies, dubya says he's against terrorists, but his actions speak otherwise.
The 9/11 unity in American and the world-wide solidarity with America lasted pretty much until dubya and dichkhead started agitating loudly for invading Iraq.
I love the 'I support the troops" car magnets on the back of Expeditions and F250s.
if i'm not mistaken i think pretty much everyone in the US screamed loudly for invading at the beginning.................i can guarantee you were one of them.
uhh no. many people, including myself, wondered why were rushing into Iraq considering we had just invaded AFghanistan. Of course I was labled as not supporting the President and I was told to just shut up.. Sorry dude but I never quite connected 9/11 with invading Iraq..
just between you and me Iraq had ntohing to do with 9/11 .. don't tell anybody
Nevermind Zarqawi fleeing Afghanistan and setting up shop in Iraq.
Yeah, because your circle is getting smaller.
yeah only 70% of the country on my side.. the same one's that spoke during the 2006 Congressional elections.. it's sucks to be on an island all by myslef..
You're pretty fickle when it come so relying on polls.yeah only 70% of the country on my side.. the same one's that spoke during the 2006 Congressional elections.. it's sucks to be on an island all by myslef..
I think they're becoming less and less credible as time passes. Some of the more reputable pollsters have even been caught fudging on question, numbers, and representation.
I don't buy them anymore.
But, you go ahead.
ok I'll disregard the polls and stick with the 2006 Congressional elections..
D'okie dokie. That'll hold you about 2 years.
"US screamed loudly for invading at the beginning."
no, millions of people had extreme doubts, which increased as dubya and his accomplices kept trotting out a long series, about 30 long, of " justification of the week" for his bull war. Turns out ALL the cherry-picked reasons were bull , and the serious doubts about them in the intel community were classified or suppressed, keeping Congress and everybody else in the dark.
Pretty much unanimity for going into Afghanistan, but they ed that up, too.
"................i can guarantee you were one of them."
I guarantee you that your head is chronically up your ass.
Only if Boutons is the sole victim and is in the driver's seat!
I think Stu is completely wrong about this. The nation united after 9/11 after years of partisan fighting over oval office blowjobs and perjury.
We've now had six years of partisan fighting over National Security, the War on Terror, the Patriot Act, etc. Another attack will simply intensify the polar positions people have built up since 9/11.
The Blame Game will reach a fever pitch, as the Left blames the Right's policy for the attack while the Right blames the Left's apathy. We'll see calls for investigations, impeachments, and additional security measures (on which no one will agree).
I think the only thing that can happen in the next 20 years to bring post-9/11-like national unity is an alien invasion.
i can guarantee you have a ps3 and save a whole year for it. your vulgar responese.........i'm sorry.........all of your vulgar responses tell me you are immature and still, after 40 to 45 years,.....still live at home.
