For over a year after the murder of 3,000 innocent people in New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001, shell-shocked Americans were gripped by other horrific images of terrorism across the globe.

Palestinian suicide bombers blew up Israeli civilians during a renewed intifada. Pakistani terrorists attacked India's parliament over the disputed Kashmir region. Other terrorists in Pakistan beheaded U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl.

Islamists killed over 200 at a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia. Chechnyan separatists stormed a Moscow theater and took over 800 hostages; over 100 died before the nightmare was over.

In the U.S., John Allen Mohammed and his young partner were busy murdering citizens in counties adjoining Washington, D.C. -- a city still jittery from anonymous anthrax-laced letters sent in late 2001 to various media

Today, a Mohammedan school operates in New York; another in Virginia. Hawaii celebrates the cult of hate. 0bambi plans to release some terrorists into the US and house others in US prisons.

“Alice Through the Looking Glass” was serious drama compared to what America has become.

I think the Jihadis have figured out all they have to do is out breed us. It's working all over Europe. No reason to think that it wont work here as well.

With feel good libs in power more than willing to sell out any values we hold sacred and also more than willing to put islam or any other phony religion ahead of us, we are basically screwed.

May not happen in my lifetime but I fear for my kids and right now have little hope for their kids.
