I agree - among the many in my opinion powerful aspects of Bush's speech the other night, one of the strongest themes was that responding to the threat also equates with a new (or re-juvenated) national purpose, and in a global-historical context. I seem to recall an excellent post to this thread that in effect described the national mood as aimless and exhausted - prior to September 11. Until and unless something occurs that's worse and different than the single greatest collective disaster in our national history, something appears that's more memorable than the images of two of the world's tallest buildings collapsing and of one of the world's greatest cities in a shambles, or something arises that's profoundly positive and ineluctable (something more novel, exciting, and durable than, say, the rise of the Internet or the fall of Communism), there is unlikely to be anything on the national consciousness more prominent and pressing than addressing the causes and effects of the attack.
