Ann Coulter nails it…
She explains exactly what led up to 9/11, step-by-step, cause-and-effect, event-then-response (or lack thereof)…
Thanks to the Colonel Ku®tz over at Lee’s.
Go read this, now, as they say…
I wish, I wish I could write as well as Denbeste.
Some nice excerpts:
If the last two and a half years have done nothing else, they’ve exposed the breadth and depth of misapprehension around the world of Americans by non-Americans. bin Laden expected the US to drop to its knees and beg after 9/11, along the lines of what Spain did after 3/11. The Europeans expected the US to collapse in paroxysms of self-loathing and guilt for past misdeeds which were perceived (in Europe) as being the “root cause” of the attack. The Europeans also expected the US to be chastened, and to see this as nemesis leading from American unilateral hubris. They expected a new dedication to multilateralism.
The party ended and the hangover started when the dot-com bubble burst. And after 9/11, the vacation ended for America. We don’t generally sweat the little stuff, but we were once again facing big stuff. Our true deep nature once again came to the fore.
Smell the air…

Liberal talk radio is an experiment, and like any new venture, it will make some mistakes and undergo some failures. But perhaps the best sign of its potential is how much conservatives already hope it will go away.
Last I checked, NPR has been around for quite awhile, that bastion of right-wing thought...err. Sure...that’s what NPR is.

I ran across this list again, and remembered posting it when I was still stuck on Blog*Spit, but when I went looking for it, I couldn’t find it. So I borrowed this (oft-repeated) list from another site, because it’s worth reprinting from time to time.
Pass it around.
