We could have looked at our own country, not to mention the rest of the world, to see it coming: WTC attacked in '93, US Embassies attacked in Africa, USS Cole attacked in Yemen. For nearly 10 years the US government did nothing to protect it's citizens, property and ideals. Remember in 1996 the Sudanese gov't offered to turn Bin Laden over to the U.S. Our gov't declined the opportunity! And here we are now!!!! It's good to hear that you, as a teacher, will continue to keep up the good fight!
