Looking Back to 9/11
Tod Lindburg, writing in The Washington Times, on how "normalized" things have become since immediately post-9/11:
In any event, if you had told me then that the anthrax scare would go away, that the triggermen to come would prove to be standard-issue American psychos, and that five years would go by without a follow-up attack on American soil, I and I think most everyone else would have thought you had your head stuck so far in the sand you could see Jimmy Carter.We were all fearing the worst, an open Intifada on American soil. However, that has not happened, and the threat that we face has become almost benign bacground noise to the media. There were 8 years between attacks on the World Trade Center. I fear our enemy is just biding their time.
