9/11 came and went without much fanfare. I wonder why that is. Far
less
people were killed at Pearl Harbor, but the outrage was much more. I
thought it was sad that so many have forgotten so soon, so many think
it was
a conspiracy from within, and that we don't have to worry about
future
terrorism. We are all so safe now that terrorism has been removed
from the
vocabulary.

Forgetting is politically expedient for nearly half of the country...
Obama is keeping us safe from the evil terrorists, just like the right
claimed Bush was doing because there wasn't an attack after 9/11
I think the Bush Admin. already took care of the heavy lifting... Using
your analogy, my Doctor has kept me safe from bubonic plague..
Your party was the one claiming that Bush was keeping us safe. And the
reasoning was because there hadn't been an attack since 9/11. SO, it's a
simple analogy that Obama is keeping us safe also. But, I honestly
suspected that you'd figure out a way to spin it so that Bush is the
hero, and Obama hasn't done anything. Typical and expected.
The assertion is certainly true. Unfortunately the current
administration always takes the blame for whatever happens (attacks,
recessions or whatever) so we are still waiting to see how long we
stay safe. I would ve very happy in Obama gets through his term with
no bad things happening ... but I am only thinking out for my own good
fortune. Anyone who feels any other way is a moron.
I have no doubt you feel this way, but some like Cheney and some on Fox
would be quite happy to see us attacked.
They are certainly morons by your definition and mine.
