It's That Three AM Phone Is Ringing...

Back in 1996, an obscure group called Al Qaeda - and it's even more obscure leader, Osama Bin Laden - declared War on the United States. Other than lobbing a few cruise missiles as a distraction after the President got caught with his wing-wang where it shouldn't be, the US otherwise dismissively ignored Bin Laden and his declaration.

The result was 9/11.

Now, we have a new declaration from the Muslim Brotherhood - a not-at-all obscure organization with powerful ties to many Arab countries, and even to groups in the US. We ignored this once at our peril. Will we do it again?
