Conservatives advocate "another 9/11"

From the editorial page of the Philadelphia Daily News:
America's fabric is pulling apart like a cheap sweater.

What would sew us back together?

Another 9/11 attack.

The Golden Gate Bridge. Mount Rushmore. Chicago's Wrigley Field. The Philadelphia subway system. The U.S. is a target-rich environment for al Qaeda.

Is there any doubt they are planning to hit us again?

If it is to be, then let it be. It will take another attack on the homeland to quell the chattering of chipmunks and to restore America's righteous rage and singular purpose to prevail.
If another terrorist attack does take place, remember who advocated it. Remember who egged it on, and helpfully suggested specific targets. Remember who proudly proclaimed -- again -- that their political faction benefits from the slaughter of American citizens, and that government should "let it be" in order to quell the "chattering of chipmunks"... i.e., the working of democratic government.

Cui bono, indeed.
