After Pearl Harbor a Japanese General made this comment, "We have awakened a sleeping giant". After 9/11 the average citizen was mad for a while and then went back to the normal routine. Don't you think the terrorist are just as determined to destroy us as the axis were back then? Sure, I know this is a different kind of war. The enemy doesn't wear an identifiable uniform, and there are no front lines, but our very existance is threatened just the same. Do you think it will take another 9/11 to re-awaken the "sleeping giant", or has the giant turned into a p---y cat?

The American public now it seems, has the attention span of a goldfish.
Oh look! A rock! *swims around the fishbowl*

I think it is all politics they use wars and promises about what they will do about them if re-elected they draw it out till the next term and make the same promises all over again.
