It'll backfire. The American people have their own best interest in mind this time. The real difference between 9/11 and Vietnam is that the V.C. hadn't really attacked us at home. But if you're over thirty, you can't help but remember an onslaught of horrific terror aimed at us and Israel. Pearl Harbor saw a few dozen civilian casualties, if I'm correct. The thousands who died were primarily military. But on 9/11 it was the other way around.

We aren't soon going to forget.

And we aren't soon going to forget who wants to couch this war in terms of a police action against a limited group when it's really half the Islamic world that wants to roast our stomachs. This is world war and only idiots and the power greedy are willing to sell us on the idea that it isn't.
