Columnist Wishes For Another 911

Yes, someone has finally written it. And we just KNEW this day would come…didn’t we?

A columnist is opening wishing for another 911 to unite Americans (what about the innocent lives that would cost). The link is HERE.

And yes, yours truly agrees with the column writer that it is indeed a “sick” sentiment — no matter what the intellectual (or non-intellectual) rationalization.

What more can you say that the column itself says? (We won’t quote it; it doesn’t belong on TMV).

This can be said with certainty:

Even if there was another 911 attack, President George Bush would never enjoy the same kind of unity and trust he enjoyed on September 11th and Sept. 12th. The gift of unity was willfully sacrificed at the alter of political polarization and gamesmanship. And his administration is enmeshed in a credibility gap so any new measures he’d suggest or implement would be viewed with skepticism by some Americans.

But wishing for another 911?

Save that sentiment — and then repeat it to the families of those who’ll be murdered, if another attack takes place….
