In the 1940's, Jim Crow laws existed too. Some people equate the two-as immoral blights caused by "barbaric thinking". This is what happens when one generation second-guesses the previous generations' decisions. This generation loves to look down its nose at generations' past decisions.

As long as people got money in their pockets, they're full of PC moral rightousness.

It would take a hell of a body count or an economic collapse to strip away the PC morality that has built up in this nation since we became prosporous in the 1950's.

I think PC thinking would preclude any truly savage act like loading 80 500# bombs into a B-52 and opening the doors over the Saudi suburbs. It would look "reactionary" to the "important" people of the US.

Again, I wish you were right on this, but I doubt it.

I assure you that depends entirely on how many of those "important" people are killed in the next attack

Agreed. But, again, there's no need to perform our "offensive" here with firepower at all. Just let Country A know through channels that we (and our armada) will hold it responsible should anything happen to us. I have a hunch this sort of, er, "message" has kept us safe since 9/11. May it continue to do so.

He IS right. The "important" people have already lost some of their power. I can asure you, that all of the important" people will be "removed" in case of another attack. This will cost us the democracy for several years but it will be done. Did you listen to Tommy Franks?

The "important" people have been warned. There is nothing PC about it.
