"It may be that Western culture will indeed go: The lack of conviction of many of those who should be its defenders and the passionate intensity of its accusers may well join to complete its destruction. But if it does go, the men and women of all the continents will thereby be impoverished and endangered."

Indeed, we see this "lack of conviction" on the part of the west on a daily basis in the MSM. IMO most of it comes from ignorance of the seriousness of the threat. It boggles my mind but it's going to take more than 9/11 to galvanize us.

Saw a great documentary on the events leading up too and through 9/11 on the National Geographic channel, I believe it was called inside 9/11. If you can I highly recommend watching it.
