That’s a good question…

It has been frighteningly clear that the media is treating 9/11 like a one-shot deal, and those on the left are trying to politicize the ongoing military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. This smacks of an enthusiastic stampede towards the apathy that we had when the sun went down on September 10th, 2001.

It has already been announced that Al Qaeda (or one of its allies in this war) is planning on striking the United States sometime this summer both because of, and in an attempt to influence, the election.

If it actually gets through and succeeds, does anyone think that it will actually wake up the Americans that are trying very desperately to roll over and go back to sleep?

And why are those on the Left so desperate to return to the days when we just went after the terrorists with FBI agents and DNA tests, rather than the First Armored Division and Special Forces? Is it because this use of the military is actually a major part of National Security and defending our nation, instead of serving as a cross between a boxing referee and the Red Cross?

I’d like to hear your thoughts on the matter…
