I need to stop watching the news.

Got home. Turned on the teevee machine and there was Frank Gaffney going full "24" on the torture issue.

Yes there are people in the world who wish to do us harm. There always have been.

The "terrorists" are not super villains. They do not have super powers, nor do they possess alien, occult, or super-luminal abilities/artifacts.

Yes they can kill our citizens. I do not doubt that. One man on a subway could injure hundreds even thousands. Where do you draw the line? They are not a foreign nation. They are, at best, a guerrilla front.

We are a nation. We have near infinite resources and they do not. If we hold to our beliefs they will lose. As long as we treat as a threat and not the threat, they will become even more marginalized.

If I have to listen to any more of this....well...I will just do another post.

-Cheers
