Why does it say:-
"THIS is what our Nation is responding to."
I don't understand.

Did you wait for the video to download? Did you watch it?


Yes. A lot of images of 9/11. Very moving.

Then why do you ask why it says "This is what our nation is responding to" ?

A thought for you. Bin Laden and the terrorists who committed those awful
crimes can only have wanted one thing - to provoke a war.

Nonsense. Bin Laden's own public statements demonstrate a considerably
different objective.

The US government
owed it to every one of those innocent dead not to do what the terrorists
wanted. They have all been betrayed, bigtime.

To suggest that we "owe" it to our innocent dead to not retaliate, to fail to
avenge their deaths, and have "betrayed" them by doing so is, to put it
mildly, bizarre. Bin Laden himself has stated specifically that American
failure to respond forcefully to previous attacks -- under all three
administrations previous to the current one -- emboldened him to carry out the
one six years ago. It's worth noting that, in the wake of the vigorous
response that followed, there have been no further successful attacks on our
soil.
