The Long War's Pearl Harbor
Nine-eleven was Pearl Harbor 2.0, a major chapter in the annals of the Long War. If many didn't recognize we had been at war since the Beirut Marine barracks bombing in 1983, they certainly have known it since 9/11.
Take a moment today to remember the roughly 3,000 people, going about their lawful pursuits, mostly at work, who were murdered on this day in 2001 by Arab terrorists. Remember the brave passengers who stopped the plane headed for the Capitol at the cost of their own lives, and the brave rescuers who risked much including death in the aftermath.
