History of our nation since the 20th century began tells us one very important factor that cannot be denied. Our attention span when it come to any conflict against any foe, is extremely limited. Even World War II, by 1945, our nation was war weary, tired out and seeking more immediate solutions that led FDR into selling out Eastern Europe to Stalin. And this is the nation who suffered the least among all major combatants. Same thing with Korea and Vietnam Wars. In our current war, it has gone far too long for many Americans and cost far too much. What was 9-11 nowadays but almost a meaningless platitude for so many Americans. For many, this wasn't act of terrorism but an accident of fate. There are Muslims in our nation who are actually protesting against monuments on 9-11 because the term "Muslims/Islamic radical terrorists" who crashed the planes. And many more who think it was set up, like fake lunar landings, Japanese nuke themselves and there were no holocaust....list goes on.
