You espouse my sentiments (and far too few others) for so long now. By again empowering the Idiot Party we have, so unfortunately, relegated this country to another severe wake-up call that will make 9-11 seem like a skin wound. I am beginning to come around to the apparent reality that our country will have to endure more (many?) severe attacks and extreme loss of life before those who are still alive figure out the simple, common truth in your words. We have coddled and pampered ourselves into fantasy world and now put those who believe this is a viable method to deal with the current Muslim/Christianity World War back in power.

The question in my mind is what fighting state will we be left in afterwards?

God help us survive the lessons.
