I will not say that the book "Unconquerable Nation Knowing Our Enemy, Strengthening Ourselves" is a MUST READ. I will however say it is well worth your time and money.

Too bad, only five.
...we must also rely on our own psychological strength to defeat the terror they would create. Instead of issuing constant warnings and alarms, we must project stoicism and resolve. Instead of surrendering our liberties in the name of security, we must embrace liberty as the source and sustenance of our security
About time something other than defeatist mush got out there. Thank you for the post.

Only when facing the external enemy is more important than destroying the Bush Adminstration, which happened for a few weeks after 9/11. All too soon, destroying Bush has resumed as the only focus of the left. All other threats are secondary at best. None other than the new Speaker of the House has said that Iraq is a "sitution", and insists it has nothing to do with the Islamist War, as if cutting and running would not invite further trouble for the US, its interests and allies.
What dangerous and pitiful fools.
How do they make the comparison between something like Pearl Harbor or the San Francisco fire, and rounding up a bunch of potential spies and saboteurs during WWII, the Japanese, and putting them safely out of harm's way?
He kind of lost me when he talked about Commie "witch-hunts" being a dark moment. We were smarter (and except for black people) freer then. And, as Ann Coulter loves to repeat in "Treason" "Were there Communists in the State Departmnt?" (Check Verona tapes for answer.)
From the Rand corporation which brought us the freedom stealing and nation deconstructing concept of 'homeland security'? From the Rand corporation who also recieves many many millions in federal dollars to implement homeland security policies?
Thats rich!

Too bad the bureaucrats in Washington don't feel the same way. I don't remember reading where they started strip searching grannies and the train stations back then.
