"Do we really need further convincing of the threat we face?"
Sad to say, but yes 50 to 60 percent of the USA population needs further convincing. It's too bad it could result in the death of those that don't need convincing.
You hit it right on the head pal. I don't need convincing yet I'm in NYC all the time working . Be real sad if I had to get blown up to convince the wacko Liberals of NYC.
