Most of us haven't seen any actual footage of the 9/11 attacks since the week of 9/11.
The liberal media would rather have us forget that we have a Islamic fascist enemy that would like to destroy our American culture, and that 9/11 was just one of many attacks that has been perpetrated against our country.
9/11 taught us that we can't ignore threats from outside our borders. Even great conservative leaders like Reagan and Thatcher failed to respond appropriately.
The Bush Doctrine of preemptive military action is appropriate when all other avenues of diplomacy have failed. Remember these images from 9/11 and support our troops!

Remember Pearl Harbor Day
Detailed time line leading to Pearl HarborPhotos from Pearl Harbor
Video: Pearl Harbor Survivors
Sixty-six years ago the Japanese navy struck the American Navy at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in a sneak attack that severely damaged America's naval power in the Pacific.
The Japanese attack started just before 8 AM, catching the Naval base off guard and virtually defenseless.
Within a short time five of eight battleships at Pearl Harbor were sunk or sinking, with the rest damaged. Several other ships and most Hawaii-based combat planes were also knocked out and over 2400 Americans were dead.
Soon after, Japanese planes eliminated much of the American air force in the Philippines, and a Japanese Army was ashore in Malaya.
On December 8, the USA declared war on Japan. Within days, the USA was a full participant in World War II.
How did the United States and it's Navy become such an easy target for a long-range naval attack?
Isolationism
One of the main reasons is that the driving philosophy in foreign relations at that time was isolationism.
The USA, still reeling from the Depression of the Thirties, felt that what was happening in Europe with Germany and Italy, and in the Pacific with Japan, was not it's concern.
Just as darkness cannot tolerate light, evil governments like Germany, Italy, and Japan could not let the USA, still a world power and bastion of liberty and freedom, remain as it was.
From Pearl Harbor, and later the attack 60 years later on 9/11 by Islamic fascists, we learn that the world is too small for us to tolerate evil.
The New Direction
We do not live in a bubble. The loss of freedom and respect for life anywhere in the world affects everyone and diminishes our humanity.
Our foreign policy today has to come from our respect for life and the extension of liberty and freedom to all.
Despite what the liberals say, we have the moral high ground, and an obligation to do what is necessary to spread freedom and liberty and stand up to the dark evil forces that are trying to destroy our way of life.
This means that we must win the current war on Islamic fascism that was brought to our shores even before 9/11. Unlike WWII, this is a war that will take decades to win.
Not fighting this war will result the spread of the hateful Islamic ideology throughout the world and the loss of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that God has endowed on all his creation.
Just as it was at Pearl Harbor, the USA today is the last and greatest firewall in stopping the flames of evil that seek to destroy all that is good.

Islam: The Religion of Hate
What happens to a girl who is gang-raped by six armed men in Saudi Arabia? You give her 200 lashes and six months in jail if your a conservative Muslim.From the people of the "Religion of Peace" who brought you 9/11, beheadings of journalists, REAL torture of our captured American military, the riots over a Danish cartoon: now comes another example of their grotesque "justice" in their inhumane treatment of a 19 year old rape victim.
But what do you expect from religion founded by an obsessive-compulsive false prophet who killed thousands in cold blood because they wouldn't accept his twisted view of God? This is the same guy who lived off of rich older women until he became powerful enough to legitimize his desire to molest young girls.
Now his followers have slithered their way into every corner of the world with their "holy jihad" against western civilization and Israel. In mosques worldwide, even the USA, their mullahs and imams smear our society and help plot the eventual destruction of "infidel" governments. Until they can actually get enough political juice to destroy us politically, they are content to just slaughter innocent people who are shopping, working, having dinner, or burying their dead. All in the name of their bastard god "Allah" and his pedophile prophet Muhammad!
Of course, Ron Paul, who actually has a fan base called "Christians for Ron Paul", wants us to try to understand that we, the Americans, caused the Islamic community to breed this blood-thirsty lot of wretched human beings; and that by understanding them, we can all work out our differences and we'll finally have peace!
Western culture is at worldwide war with Islam and it's henchmen. Unfortunately, it will take some extreme acts of terrorism beyond the pale to wake the intended victims out of their apathy and to fight back.
Isolationism and non-interventionism will not work in this new age and new war that we are in.
Only by clearly identifying an enemy can you fight him, and only by choosing to use superior force can you defeat him.
For the sake of all the 19 year old girls out there, let's find the resolve to do both.

Rush Limbaugh Missed Opportunity on War
On Rush's show today, the topic of great presidents being defined by wars was brought up. One caller correctly stated that the most admired presidents were the ones who led us victoriously through times of war. (Reagan, though not fighting a conventional war, won the Cold War.)
A later caller disagreed, mistakenly pointing to Thomas Jefferson as a great president who didn't have to fight a war. Here's where Rush missed a golden opportunity.
Jefferson was the first president to actually press the might of the American military overseas in the case of the Barbary Coast pirates headquartered in Tripoli.
The history of events leading up to this action is very long and detailed (full story here), but the basic story is this: Our commercial and political strength were being threatened by Tripoli, and Jefferson, without a declaration of war by Congress, sent the fledgling U.S. armed forces to straighten the matter out.
(This is where the phrase in the Marine anthem "to the shores of Tripoli" comes from.)
Sound familiar? The nay-sayers who would criticize G.W. Bush should look back to our greatest statesmen, Thomas Jefferson, as proof of the validity of preemptive doctrine, and realize that inaction and isolationism only lead to 9/11's and doesn't prevent them.
