    Ground zero?

    "Ground zero" isn't the term for evolving from nothing, or maybe just zero. That was a very loaded word when Bush said it in this context. A military evolving from the geographic point the World Trade Center collapsed? Tying that to Iraq, again? Before September 11, "ground zero" was the term for the point of impact of an atomic bomb. If a military waits until then to start amassing forces, it's too late.
