Yes, mistakes have been made, but let's put this in some context:

More than 6,000 INNOCENT VICTIMS have been slaughtered in an unprovoked attack on our soil.

Am I the only one who sees that our sense of outrage is disappearing out there. Folks seem to be more worried about being sensitive, blaming the government, and just generally looking for excuses to not eradicate those responsible for the murders. Introspection and self-examination are important, but they are not going to protect my children from madmen.

I shudder to think what would have happened if these attitudes prevailed during WWII. I can see it now - "our policies forced Japan into the bombardment of Pearl Harbor, so let's let them slide and work out a diplomatic solution." We would all be speaking German or Japanese right now.
