It was only a matter of time. At first the "shock and awe" kept the terrorists at arms length as they regrouped. Now, the stuff is going to start hitting the fan. I just hope Bush can weather the storm of criticism that is starting to form. So many have forgotten what happened on September 11, 2001. For a reminder you might want to send folks here:
