I also feel like I should take a moment to reflect on this day 8 years ago.

It's hard to be believe it's been 8 years. It's even harder to believe what has and has not transpired in that amount of time. What should have been an event that united an entire country has only emphasized its crippling opposition. What a shame.

Watch Fox News today at some point. They scan the names of those individuals that lost their lives on 9/11/01 on the ticker at the bottom. It's a profound reminder of the personal impact it had on an entire nation. It's a shame that they don't scan the names of the soldiers that have since departed for the same cause.

What did we talk about before the Taliban?
