How long before the MSM-manufactured euphoria ends?
When the second plane hits the other tower.
It's a little like terrorism.
The WTC was bombed in 93, but that was a mad bomber, not so much terrorism.
The Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed in '95, and one of the 'persons of interest', known as John Doe No. 2 was a dead ringer for some guy involved in international terrorism. But that was hicks from the sticks, waving Constitutions and being racists.
Flight 800 went down, but that was a electrical failure in a fuel tank...
When the first plane hit the WTC, people were still in denial, thinking somehow it was an accident.
It took the second plane hitting the second tower to wake people up.
People have such a denial/normalcy bias factor going for them, they won't recognize there is a problem until the airwaves go dark, the lights go out, and the mob comes to their doorstep.
Until then, it's all sunshine, unicorns, and rainbows...
