911 Caused A Lot Of People To Change Their Minds

Mark Eby — 8/15/2004 1:55:42 PM (archived)

It's a little more significant than changing your mind based on which way the poll winds blow. It turned a lot of pacifists into people supporting war with Afghanistan. The problems with nation building are real. We are facing them now. What changed is the perception that it is optional in all cases. Clinton did a horrible job of it and Bush hasn't done much better, but the US has succeeded in the past.

Regards,
Mark
