Will anybody learn the next time!?
I think that the majority of people learned many lessons that day ... terrorism is real and we are not immune ... a handful of people can sucker-punch a great nation ... the public
must be able to protect ourselves (yes, even in airplanes) ... national pride and love for your neighbor exists
everywhere ... and so on. However, I agree, too many of the solutions that were put in place were poorly thought out, knee-jerk reactions, which ended up reducing freedom rather than preventing terrorism. Current leadership (on both sides of the aisle) seem to be content with trying to build a "world made out of NERF" rather than proactively seeking and stopping those who would harm us. God willing, my prayer is that we learn to choose better leaders, those leaders come up with more liberating and effective policies while
increasing freedom, and that there will
NEVER be a "next time."
