Much to ponder

An NRO Symposium on whether 9/11 changed us.

My take: It did, but it's worn off on many of us. Like passing a car wreck on the highway, we drove differently for awhile, but then as the memory faded, we resumed speeding, fiddling with the radio, rubbernecking. And a lot of us are DUI. The terrorists have been set back, but they are still driving directly at us, head on, and they're not distracted.
