Hi.Good point, to be filed under the "in a related story, water is wet" category.

Here are a few of my thoughts.

Has someone considered (and I'm sure they have) how many attacks there have been on American soil since the horrors of 9-11?

Thanks be to God, NONE.

Why? Religious views aside (for now), I think it's because we have a leader who has been so willing to do what he believes is right for the country, by engaging the terrorists on their land instead of ours, that he has staked his re-election on it.

I read this line from his Convention speech in 2000: "I don't have to check your pulse before I know my mind."

I remember when we were attacked. My roommate was a mechanic for Continental Airlines. I lived next to LAX, and let me tell you, the silence was deafening (because of the planes being grounded) on that day. To this day, the following words STILL bring chills to me, and enormous pride in my heart:

"I can hear you...the whole world hears you...and the people who knocked these buildings down WILL HEAR ALL OF US SOON!"

God bless our Commander in Chief, The President of the United States, George Walker Bush, and those who serve him and with him.
