These animals are encouraged so long as there is one, single voice... no matter how small or weak, which supports them.</p>

Nice to know they are prepared, but it's somewhat like closing the barn door after the horse gets out. Wouldn't it be more prudent to take control of our borders and screen those entering the country?

Hello Mr President, we are holding this plant hostage and will blow it up unless you leave all Muslim lands. If you refuse we will get 72 virgins. President Bush says Would you hold for a second. Thanks for holding but I had to go push the red button which means your holy rock will cease to exist shortly. In addition all Mosques in Arab lands will cease to exist within a week. In addition we are sending 300,000 troops to Iraq to clean up whats left of Syria and Iran. Thank you for being the last martyrs.

"What if, for example, dozens of terrorists take over a chemical manufacturing plant near a big city and threaten to blow it up unless the Pentagon withdraws troops from Iraq?"

We blow it up first - with the terrorists inside.

"A larger band of 100 or more terrorists 'is a level of threat nobody is prepared to deal with,'

That's a relatively small number to be a top threshold, isn't it? We have likely 100 times that number coming over the borders illegally every day, although most of them aren't officially terrorists.

To make matters worse, we have tens of thousands of vicious gang-members we can't deal with either.

Properly protecting our borders SHOULD be a top priority - HOWEVER, if you don't think large groups of extremists are not already in this country and have been for a long time, you are mistaken.

Just like in Britain, we have "home-grown" terrorists protected by willing, neutral, and apathetic neighborhoods and a law enforcement policy of act after the fact. Islamo-hatred is taught, preached, and bred in many major universities today and we must be ready to do battle in our own neighborhoods if necessary. That's why the second amendment is a very imporatant issue as well.

We can after martial law is declared.

On a related note, time to rewatch DVD of past seasons of "24".

I am praying:

Psalms 125:3
"The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous."

God is merciful.
