1993: World Trade Center bomb terrorises New York A suspected car bomb has exploded underneath the World Trade Center in New York killing at least five people and injuring scores more. The bombing has shocked America which had seemed immune from acts of terrorism that have plagued other parts of the world.

An emotional Mario Cuomo, New York's state governor, told journalists: "We all have that feeling of being violated. No foreign people or force has ever done this to us. Until now we were invulnerable."

American Press could care less. The first sign of things to come. The precursor with good ol' "I feel your pain" Clinton, relaxing in the White House eyeing up some young interns. The terror grew and became emboldened. Imagine if only Clinton cared more out our national security then getting head well maybe just maybe 3000 Americans would be alive today, and the real slap in the face to this is the cover up sponsored by good ol' sloppy Sandy. History rewritten by the Democrats. How could America ever be even remotely considering putting these scums back in the White House. Here some future shock for you. Oh by the way Ms. Clinton while you were handling some National Security issues your husband was meeting with some new pretty interns. Focus now Ms. Clinton with your shaky hand on the Nuke Trigger and all. If she is elected then America has truly lost its mind. Either that or the GOP is not doing enough to let America know what is really at stake.

Unfortunately, to most NYers at the time, this was just an inconvenient interruption in broadcast TV signals. Not dissimilar to the view of too many Americans that the attacks of 9/11 were just another "speed bump on the road of life."

Will we ever learn?
