What we learned on September 11 is that the unthinkable is now thinkable in the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the extraordinary things about human events is that the unthinkable becomes thinkable.
A lot of the things that until now seemed unthinkable are starting to be thinkable.
There is nothing so unthinkable as thought, unless it be the entire absence of thought.
We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world.
To achieve the impossible; it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.
September 11 awoke us to the threat of terrorism. It was forever bookmarked in our history as the day when life as Americans knew it, changed forever.
But it is equally incontrovertible that if our intelligence gathering process is seriously flawed, we had better find out and find out fast if we are to avoid another Sept. 11.
I absolutely believe that another 9/11 is possible.
If September 11th has taught us anything, it's certainly that the world has never been so interdependent. It is impossible now to be an island of prosperity in a sea of despair.
So I think, if September 11 taught us anything, it taught us that we're vulnerable, and vulnerable in ways that we didn't fully understand.
