Pre-September 11 2001?

[bombastic]

Does anyone remember the mood of this country before September 11, 2001? I all but forget, now that it's been over 2 years. I'm certain though, that nearly everyone WASN'T A FLAG WAVING PSEUDO-PATRIOT, like alot of citizens are pretending to be these days. Where has the intelligence gone? Did it exist to begin with?

I seem to remember a general malaise...but the lack of intelligence in this country had nothing to do with 9/11, it was a little bit harder to notice.

By the way, whatever happened to the terror alert levels?

By the way, whatever happened to the terror alert levels?

They're sooooooo last season. The trends for this season are embargos, sanctions, and long-term foreign conflict. Where have you been?
