9/11: Barbarians Past The Gates

The picture we receive is uniform: we are reasonable, they are recalcitrant; we are the Civilized Nation, they are the (ignoble) savages. We love freedom; they hate freedom.

From the New York Times' David Brooks to London's Daily Mail, there's talk of a Muslim 'death cult' and how, if Western liberals don't confront it, they will have 'blood on their hands.'

The recent hot topics of American politics -- John Kerry's service in the Vietnam War, whether he lied about it, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads claiming that he lied, and George Bush's reaction to those ads -- seem to have come right out of an alternate dimension.

Although a candidate's military experience and honesty about it are important factors in how much Americans can trust him to be commander in chief during wartime, some voters are far more likely to be focused on the actual issues of the day, including a war on terror that has so far consumed thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars...
