That would never happen. If it did, we would turn the Middle East into glass.
Oh yes, I also remember when we retaliated for those muslim airline pilots destroying the trade centers, pentagon, white house and capitol. I remember the smmoooth green glass that became the whole damn middle east. It was like looking at the planet krypton when viewed from space. It was so reflective that the light of the sun bounced around in the clouds of the atmosphere and never again was there a completely dark night on the Earth. And never again was the crescent moon of Allah seen in our skies.
It was the greatest hour in history when all 363 of those missles took off and the whole world watched live on all the networks. I remember as they lifted into the air and then we all watched, together, via live broadcoast setup by US Special Ops teams with cameras, as the warheads exploded over several targets. Watching Tehran, Mecca, Palestine, etc. all engulged in a giant blinding fireball live on tv, split screen one after the other . . . over thirty minutes. It is a vision that will never be forgotten.
The greatest threat to humanity wiped out in less than an hour. And the great peace that has reigned upon the Earth since. Many believe President Gore’s response to the 9/11 attacks will be measured by future historians as defined, tactical, appropriate and securing a final peace. Many thank God we had a man prone to implementing a response based on momentary emotions in the White House at the time rather than one who would have responded based on the desires of the vast military industrial complex that the great Republican Eisenhower warned us of or based on family business dealings.
But there are those who believe the response was wrong. They felt taking out only those few terrorists responsible was the best approach. Or perhaps just settling some old grudges by taking out Saddam would have worked just fine. But since that never happened we will never know whether if by 2015 the whole world would in that “compassionate conservative” universe would be one of universal peace as it is today. Thanks to President Gore and President Palin that followed, we don’t have to worry about that anymore.

It already did happen. 9/11, remember? Middle East is just fine.
