"To Save America..."

Lately there has been a lot of buzz about this article titled "To save America, we need another 9/11". The author is not calling for, or wishing for, another attack. He is merely saying that only another national tragedy would finally unite this country. I think this kind of unity is no longer possible, thanks to political correctness and the nasty climate in this country. After Pearl Harbor, unity was easier because everyone knew the difference between right and wrong, they knew who the enemies were, and they were willing to sacrifice in order to defeat that enemy. After 9/11, there was a brief spate of patriotism that has already fallen by the wayside. The flags and pins that were out of stock in the days following 9/11 are now selling for 75% off in the stores. Today, unfortunately, Americans are too selfish, apathetic, and self-absorbed to make any sacrifices in the effort to defeat our enemy. While I think another attack will come, it will only result in more finger-pointing, Bush-bashing, and appeasement.
