"The Path to 9/11" was set in the time before the event, and in a world in which no party had the political will to act."

This is the biggest lesson to be learned-NO PARTY HAD THE POLITICAL WILL TO ACT. All wanted to pretend that la-la land would exist if they remained silent. And in this case, silence was not golden it was deadly...

What a great title to this article; it pretty much says it all. Thanks for the ping, Northern.

In the era of McCarthyism, the merest hint of a connection to communism sufficed to inspire dark accusations, the certainty that the accused was part of a malign conspiracy. Today, apparently, you can get something of that effect by charging a connection with a Christian mission.

Interesting isn't it, that Muslims don't get that same treatment?

CYRUS NOWRASTEH did a splendid job on this screenplay. He also introduced the audience to a forgotten hero who is quoted in my tagline.

Liberals fear Christians more than they fear Muslims. It is a sign of their insanity.

Some broadcaster (O'Reilly?) had a segment on Rosie O'Donnell on "The View" saying that Christian fundamentalists were scarier than Muslim fundamentalists.

I barely got through the excerpt before getting misty. I wish I had grabbed the Journal today.
