Compare the pathetic response to 9/11 with the really tough response to Moslem terrorism portrayed in the earlier movie "State of Siege" (or something like that, were there were Moslem internment camps in the US)

We are apparently incapable of being as tough as we have to be.

I (and I'm sure you) were bitterly disappointed by the lame response to 9/11 and I expect to be disappointed again after the next attack (unless it really is nuclear fission/fusion -- rather than a mere "dirty bomb")
