If we can tell the Armenians to "get over" the deaths of 1.5 million, and the Jews to "get over" around 6 million ... Bruce, can you tell me what it will take for the US to "be over" September 11?
This is a serious question:
when will it be "time" for the US to "get over" September 11?
I was thinking about this when I saw the recent thread of the 9-11 memorial motorbike ride.
Yes, it was shocking, a dreadful crime that killed around 3,000 people. I agree that some action was justified and necessary. Since then, we've (I say "we" despite being Australian) knocked over the Talleban, chased AQ into the caves, hanged Saddam ... are we done yet? Surely this cannot be used as a grounds for unilaterally attacking countries
indefinitely.
I repeat, this is a serious question. What is it going to take for the US to give that grim nod of satisfaction, dust off the hands, and decide it has been dealt with? I guess the capture or death of Osama would be on the list ... what else?
I want to know how far this ride is going to go.
PS: I'm trying to make this as non-inflammatory as possible. Let me emphasize: I believe strong action
was appropriate in response to September 11. I am asking for people to try to spell out
what goals we need to achieve so that we are satisfied.
