KeymasterYaponvezos – prior to September, 2001, Continental U.S. territory had not been significantly intruded upon (not including the Civil War) since August, 1814, when the British burned Washington.
There's not much sense in the U.S. that we have any obligation to tolerate that kind of thing. Frankly, a lot of us thought we should have incinerated Afghanistan to the last village, with nuclear weapons, just to make an object lesson of them. But Bush chose conventional interventions, probably to his regret.
The determined opposition of Europe to every U.S. foreign policy move since 9/11 means that next time we'll probably just nuke the fuckers. (Iran, for example, is so eager to have nuclear weapons that the temptation to give them some might prove irresistible.)
In case you don't know, I was there that morning. I was one of the last people to pass through the basement and concourse levels of the World Trade Center. My rage over the event is extraordinary – it's the purest, most intense thing I've ever felt. It's been almost six years and I still think about the World Trade Center every day.
I'm not ever going to forgive what happened on 9/11 – and there are probably 100 million other Americans who feel pretty much the same way. So whether you know it or not, there is a cohort of Americans that is just as resolute and angry as the worst jihadists. We're just a lot more patient.

KeymasterI see a "Some boards are only visible to users who are logged in and have more than 20 posts." message on the top. Similar restriction?
Oh, hell yeah. We have all sorts of restrictions on users with low post counts. If we didn't do that, we'd be up to our asses in spam.
