BLAST FROM THE PAST: How we've changed in a week
2007-04-22
I've been wandering around the Rantburg archives, and I happened across this item from September 16, 2001-- five days after the 9/11 atrocities. Fred quotes a New York Times editorial, in which the following passage jumped out at me:
Americans now live a state of war against an irrational, vengeful and elusive enemy. And if we are to win, we will have to become used to the idea that we are in this for the long haul. Coming to terms with that new reality, winning this war, will require discipline, stamina and sacrifice.
Ironic. And sad, given the NYT's behavior since...
