This firefighter was photographed ascending a stairway inside the World Trade Center on 9/11. While civilians descended toward safety, he and many other firefighters and police ascended to search upper floors for trapped victims. This firefighter is one of the many lost somewhere on some upper floor minutes after this photograph was snapped.
Many people legitimately debate whether or not they made a mistake when they selected their spouses, when they purchased a stock, in their choice of cars, or that they ordered the wrong wine for their entrees.
But there is no room for debate about whether or not Western civilization has been attacked. No need to debate if the attacks are part of a series that is intended to destroy us. Our enemy has announced his intention numerous times in words and actions:  He plans to destroy Western civilization. His destruction has a special focus on the standout performer of Western civilization, The United States of America. He is a jealous, envious, and inept enemy. But he has luck from time to time.
To confuse political positions with significant foreign policies and national issues is a mistake. When Americans with closed minds attack their leaders simply because of underlying political differences, they waste energy. Being internally divisive saps our resources. The United States deserves more from its people.
Osama bin Laden said, "We love death. The United States loves life. That is the difference between us."
Even bin Laden understands our vulnerability. Those one trick ponies and self-serving distracters Cindy Sheehan, Joan Baez, and Jane Fonda, use political and personal issues to divide their audiences populated with scared, naive innocents. These grandstanders cheat themselves and serve our enemy. Do they ever consider how well they might fare under a bin Laden-style regime? Whining and being afraid to defend ourselves only gives our enemy more time to plan and implement their genuinely not-clever plans. Their level of ineptitude mandates their need for extra time. Strumming on the very old guitar distracts Americans and provides extra time for our enemy.
How many more 9/11s are required before most Americans realize that we are under sporadic, long term assault from bullying fanatics? They have no productive lives themselves. They have focused their minds and all resources toward our destruction. They are forcing us to defend ourselves. If we fail to defend all that we have built over centuries, they will destroy it. Then we will have to move back into caves. There are not enough caves on earth for them and us.
