It's a bit funny how most in the US have only 'discovered' terrorism lately... as if it were 'born' on 9/11.
Well, the US has never been 'attacked' in reality (talking post independence of course, and I'm aware of other, less catastrophic incidents). Europe and elsewhere has been accustomed to invasions and conflicts for centuries. I don't know how 9/11 could have been perceived, but Bush certainly willed it as being 'America under attack'. That would have shocked everyone to the root and no doubt changed perceptions forever. It worked for a spell obviously and now they're queueing up to launch the little cross eyed monster into space. Hope someone succeeds!x
