That Osama bin Laden’s prognostications about the West, five years after 9/11, and through Afghanistan to Iraq to Spain to London, still continue to prove accurate should be far more mortifying to a greater percentage of the population than it apparently is. And that only covers the forward-thinking aspect of the threat; there are still many people who refuse to think of the years before 2001 as anything other than an idyllic, peaceful, prosperous time where Americans were loved the world over and the menace of “terrorism” was something that happened “over there.” What have we learned? Significantly less than our enemies have.
Sad to say, I agree with you Epa.
