The country said never again back then, and then we got 9/11. The enemies change, but their intentions don't, and we don't seem anymore to be capable of convincing them what a bad idea it is.
ReplyDeleteOur enemies can't be convinced because we keep rewarding their evil. Just ask the Taliban.

ReplyDeleteIf that attack happened today, the Biden Administration would lecture Americans about Islamophobia.
ReplyDeleteAnd stress that we were not attacked by "Japanese," but by dangerous right wing extremists.
