>>>Islam brought the fight to us. What's new?
>>
>>Actually 19 or 20 Islamic terrorists brought the fight to us. What is sometimes forgotten now is that Al Qaeda was a dimly understood and loosely organized group 15 years ago. You probably already know the English translation of Al Qaeda is "the database." (Hmmm). It meant a closely guarded secret of those who could be trusted. A little medieval? Oh yeah. But the fact is they remained a fringe element of Islam and even of terror. The first many of us in the west ever heard of them was the foiled border crossing in the northwest just before Y2K. And even then we thought the attacks were random terrorist attacks, not coordinated.

>>Would I be crucified for speculating that they executed a perfect insurgent strategy? Give them that, those b**tards. It is a strategy any fledgling company might profit by,for much better and more profitable purposes, not mentioning its provenance.

>>Add the Cole terrorists and the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings and they were still off in Alpha Centauri as far as most of us knew. It was a prosperous time for us. We were still the America we had grown up in, the unquestioned rulers of the waves.

>>That old story has always ended the same way, hasn't it? And I think it explains a lot of the anxiety and anger that are (is?) running through us now. I feel it, too. We grew up in one kind of country, expecting a certain kind of future, experienced a lot of it, and now realize we are living with different expectations. And it's hard to deal with. Of course there is going to be anger. Throughout history the response has been hostility to the Others.

>>Just a random thought on the mosque issue, which I have avoided since it is so ridiculously politicized -- if you were an Islamic terrorist organization who wanted to destroy the U.S. along with all the rest of the western infidels, Allah willing -- would the smart move be to establish a mosque within sight of the WTC site? Seems like a strange place to locate a sleeper cell.

It's like checkers. They just got to your side of the board and now they are saying "King me"
