and we'll fall back into the pre-9/11 mind-set that these terrorist attacks are criminal attacks and we're not really at war
Cheney's statement was horrible and I hope they take the time to at least re-state it to emphasize the above part. The danger is that an administration decides to approach the problem as a law enforcement problem and not a bubbling international war. But the point is moot because the public wouldn't stand for it to be treated as a law-enforcement problem anyway.
