The only way some people will understand the threat to this nation is if the Administration stands aside and lets something happen. This " fear mongering" talk is a consequence of successfully defending this nation. But really now! Have the events of 9-11 become so much in the distant past?
Look past 9-11 and you'll see that Islamic terrorists have been attacking Americans and American interests for 40 years. If someone handed Mel Gibson a book on the history of this would Gibson accuse the person of "fear mongering"? I am surprised this comes from Mel Gibson.
Alas, the administration is caught betwixt and between. Because should another attack happen, instead of recognizing the enemy for who and what they are, the left wil insist the attack happened because of Bush's misleadership.
