FABULOUS essay!!! I'm not remotely surprised that your friend really had no response. Intelligent, rational thoughts tend to leave them in the dust.

BUT

If we were attacked again

Ain't gonna happen. Obama, (just like Gore would have) would take steps to keep the attack from happening in the first place. Especially if he has some of the best security agencies in the world, as well as the rest of the world, screaming at him that an attack is going to happen. And approximately when. Somehow I don't think he would tell the aide that delivered the infamous "Bin Laden determined in strike in the US" briefing, "OK, you've covered your ass. Now get out."
