bin Laden "Shocked" by US response after 9/11

If anyone doubts the importance of the U.S. projecting strength, and a willingness to use it, they should read this article fro WTOP in Washington. Osama bin Laden was clearly shocked when the U.S. retaliated for the September 11 attacks. If we had displayed such a willingness to protect our interests beforehand, perhaps the greatest tragedy to strike this country would never have happened. Instead of learning from this, the Obama Administration seems more intent on letting our enemies know we mean them no harm, and want to be their "friends". Most of us know what this stance leads to.
