OT-good read--and to those that saw Dan Rather breakdown briefly in talking about this horrendous event kept coming back to the importance of RESOLVE in the public.Saying how we must have the staying power we lacked in 1991(i was glad Dan is as torn up about how we QUIT in 91 when we were but hours away from a full victory--he said Saddam was about to flee the country to Sudan or Yemen and then we let him off the hook---he indicated the quitting was a mirror of the publics overall lack of resolve).He said face it,there will be casualties,but he said we already have over 5,000 fatalities.He said the enemy that hate us also view us as a weak selfish vain people with NO resolve,no conviction--we must prove that wrong.PaxMax

LG: Very well-reasoned analysis. Personally, I think that, although his basic premises are reasonable, the high-profile attack on American soil is a crucial element that will prove the terrorists undoing over time. Just as the media never completely let Pearl Harbour, Chappaquidick, Paula Jones etc out of our consiousness, the sight of the trade towers being hit and then collapsing will remain part of the media tapestry for decades to come. Dramatic events like that, whether truly significant or merely bizarre, take on a life of their own in the media. We will never forget and our media will make sure we never do in our lifetime. The Vietnamese never attacked our homeland, nor in any way threatened our country's security, and that's why our population's patriotism could not be totally mobilized against it. Agree totally that our military needs to "think outside the box" in fighting this new network of enemies.
