My mother died a few weeks after 9/11. I asked her after the event (she lived trough the Pearl Harbor attack). She said 9/11 was WORSE. My dad fought in world war 2 and was wounded...and had a huge case of PTSD. He died in 1973. We didn't sit around on our hands grieving after Pearl harbor. We didn't occupy countries or pretend we were spreading democracy. Nope. We just relentlessly sought to destroy the enemy. We didn't care about hearts or minds or what the local populace thought. We didn't care about politics. We wanted vengeance. Funny... every war since then, that passion and anger was NEVER the issue...and we lost.
