Random thoughts and an update or two.
I think of the War on Terror as beginning in 1983 with the Beirut bombing. Was this event a catastrophic military failure?

“…to defend freedom and deter aggression throughout the world…”
11 years later:
The catastrophic military failure of 911. (Anybody fired over this?)
