does any1 bsides me remember how unified our nations vision was on 9/12/01? No partison politics. just 1 goal.

Answer 1

Well heck, We were mad. Someone had brought the battle to our homeland. Everyone wanted to get even. Everyone wanted to fight. Everyone wanted to show patriotism.

9-11 happened 5 years ago. Now the nation isn't so mad. Now we want our rights back, we want things the way it use to be.

Now we want our Armed Forces to come home. We are like the little kids who want to pick up their toys and go home.

When the next 9-11 comes around, and it will if we pull out now, we will all be mad again. Everyone will be pointing the finger at everyone else.

People will then realize that when we took the war to the enemy and fought it on their ground we were doing the right thing. If we quit now, we will fight terrorist here at home.

Answer 2

I remember it well. It is a shame that it's not the same.

Unfortunately, the US people really thought that it was going to be easy. That we were going to walk into Afghanistan and Iraq and that it was going to be a walk in the park.

It has always amazed me how people here in the US start bitching and moaning when things don't go our way. The terrorist know that and that's why they expecting us to leave Iraq. Which by the way things are going in congress, it seems that they are going to get what they want.

But everything is not lost. Iraq is not another Vietnam, if we leave Iraq the terrorist are going to follows home. They'll attack us even more since they'll be convinced that they kicked our A S S. Which in fact, they did! And also because they'll be free to concentrate all their efforts on attacking us here at home and not on fighting us somewhere else.

The way I see it, there's definitely going to be more terrorist attacks on US soil. With more terrorist attacks, there will be temporary periods of time when the country will unite once more.

Dumb Dave is right, some day people are going to be pointing fingers at each other. The democrats will point the fingers at the republicans and vs. I hope that when that happens, when a new attack happens on this land again, that the democrats will have the courage to take responsibility for it. I doubt it!

Answer 3

yes I do and the free worlds sympathy and goodwill was with our american allies.In Canada we helped care for the stranded airline passengers we had a special ceremony on our Parliament in support of old glory.I admired when your President stood on the pile of rubble outside WTC and declared your nations resoilve to hunt down Osama. This is so sad how the administration squandered that good will from across the globe by focussing on Iraq thats where things went off the rails.

Answer 4

Yes. Unfortunately, our politicians have chosen to lose sight of the task at hand (protecting ourselves from further attack by winning the war on terrorism) and use those things that tug our heartstrings (like memories of 9-11 and flat-our fear) to play political games... it's no longer about what's best for our country... for our people. It's now about saying whatever they have to say, doing whatever they have to do, to keep their job. It doesn't even have to be true... they say it like they mean it, and they win votes... sad, really.
