I agree. I feel like the huge outpouring all over the internet and media is probably very gratifying for Al Queda. I wish we wouldn't act as if we can't recover from it, because we can and we did.
Ditto. It was tragic, but let's move on and not let the media circus shape our fears. I don't want to downplay the horror this caused for those whose loved ones died, but Al Qaeda wins if we let continue to be shell-shocked by their crimes.
Not saying I'm part of the outpouring, but I do know the there is no scenario in which Al Queda "wins." Don't waste a moment of your life giving that a second thought.
