Re:And with that I've said my peace
Please excuse for for confusing your message, Robert. Actually, a number of Americans have said that the attacks of 9/11 were a wake-up call for America, and good in the sense that they probably have forestalled larger potential tragedies that might have happened down the road when the Axis of Evil gets their nuclear and/or biological weapons to work. This point of view says that the Clinton Administration was insufficiently vigilant toward the Al Qaeda terrorists, and that America never really appreciated the daily threats that Israelis have been living with since 1948. It certainly is true that the loudest voices in America condemning the Taliban before 9/11 were those of radical feminists like Ellie Smeal and Gloria Steinem. But for some obscure reason, these early Taliban critics have also been the loudest voices criticizing the war against the Taliban. So what to do, embargo? But all that does is kill the children, slowly and painfully.
