Just about everyone remembers where they were when they found out about the attacks on 9/11/01. But too many Americans including too many of the leaders of the Democratic Party have forgotten the collective national pain, the reasons we were attacked, and desire a return to the appeasement that made the terrorists strong.

We now have a President who believes that terrorism must be defeated, a welcome change from the previous eight years as under Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry, the U.S. government returned to the pre-9/11 mindset of treating terrorist acts as crimes, and the terrorists as criminals who can be rehabilitated. President Trump believes that terrorists must be defeated.

It was seventeen years ago but the vivid memory of driving into Manhattan at six a.m. that day (as I did every day) is still fresh in my mind. For some reason as my car made its way over the bridge leading to the midtown tunnel, I gazed downtown at the two towers of the World Trade Center thinking that it was a particularly beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. Little did I know that in just a few hours later, that view of the towers would be replaced by an impenetrable black cloud, and America —indeed the entire world, would be changed forever.

I remember all that, and I still am confused about how to sort out 9/11. I have lots of questions that remain unanswered.

Remember all the plan hijackings in the 60’s and 70’s. Remember how that stopped all of a sudden. We might like to think it was Entebbe. But the more I study, we paid them to stop...………………………………………..

You can’t forget it anymore than you can forget Pearl Harbor, the murders of John and Bobby Kennedy, Walking on the moon, or the OKC bombing.

Now people born after that time and given a modern anti-American education may not remember.
