You may be right, or it may be worse!

Cassano, I used to agree with you that it will take another massive attack worse than 9/11 to motivate this country to truly win the war against Islam that threatens our future. However, I am confronted with so many ignorant people, people who refuse to look at reality, people who refuse to admit to take their eyes off their time-wasting television viewing, and so many people who are morally confused, that I wonder whether they would simply roll over and surrended if we are attacked again?

I can honestly see a situation where another attack happens, and instead of seeing people marching in the streets demanding that our military take out our enemies (Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc), we see them mewling and whining about how we "got what we deserved" for "provoking" the enemy (whom they will not even be able to name).

We already saw this after 9/11...Bush got on tv and immediately defended our enemy ("Islam is a religion of peace!") and told us to "go out and shop" instead of gearing up for war. What a pathetic response! If another 9/11 attack would wake this country up, I'd pray for one. However, I actually fear that another attack would simply lead to the USA surrendering. I fear we've lost our will to survive. Or at least, many of us have, not all of us.

If I were in charge, I'd make it known immediately that the automatic, immediate, and unalterable result of any future terrorist attack by Islam would be the nuclear destruction of Mecca, Medina, Tehran, Riyadh, and Damascus in a single hour, without discussion, without warning, without regret, and without mercy. Until we get some leaders willing to be that tough, we will not make it, I'm afraid.
