Selective Amnesia

What? Have we collectively suffered from a bad case of forgetsies? Democrats polled said that among a list of 12 issues*, fighting terrorism ranked DEAD LAST.

This is the danger of peace, complacency at the cost of vigilence. Once again the pattern repeats and, mark my words, should this trend continue we will see another September Eleventh. We did it with WTC bombing number one and we're doing it again with WTC bombing number two. The religious fevor that those who desire to cause us injury and death is capable of sustaining hatred across decades, if not lifetimes.

* Issues included: education, taxes, big government, the environment, Social Security and Medicare, crime and illegal drugs, moral values, healthcare, the economy and jobs, fighting terrorism, homeland security, and the situation in Iraq.
