Refuse to be Terrorized

They're winning - the terrorists that is. We are being terrorized, constantly. This Administration has so screwed up the fight against international Islamic extremists as to defy belief. And the terrorists have essentially fired but one shot on American soil: 9/11. We've done the rest of their job for them.

We've passed draconian legislation that limits our freedom, invaded and subsequently became mired in a country that was never arguably a terrorist base and are in the process of hem-hawing and ignoring countries that do pose a serious (and nuclear) threat. The base from which the terrorist launched their only strike is still an "Islamic Republic" that oppresses women and kills infidels, the only difference being that the Taleban is gone and the new leadership is "democratically elected". Oh, and opium production has gone through the roof.

I'd feel safer if Donald Duck were President with Goofy as SecDef. Oh, wait a minute ...

Arresting would-be attackers becomes a pyrrhic victory if politicians and the media spread fear on the terrorists' behalf. Commentary by Bruce Schneier.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
