ALERT: Now Is The Time for Americans to Defend America
Everybody in America now knows that on Tuesday, September 11, three aircraft were crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. These crashes appeared timed and were part of a planned terrorist action. The death toll will likely exceed that caused by the Imperial Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that started World War II. This coordinated attack was an act of war.
Some years ago Israel bombed a nuclear plant in Iraq. World opinion largely condemned Israel's actions, but Israel warned that if the world does not get rid of Iraq's terror threat, then that threat will get worse.
Welcome to worse.
We don't now know whether the terrorist attack on the U.S. came from Iraq. We don't know whether more attacks will come, or how or where.
We know that terrorists have repeatedly promised to attack U.S. population centers, and that:
1. The World Trade Center was undefended against any air attack.
2. The Pentagon was undefended against unexpected air attack.
3. The airliners carried nothing but unarmed and undefended people.
The common factor: "undefended."
What renders Americans undefended? The idea that "we don't need to defend ourselves" -- the culture of disarmament -- delivered to the terrorists many thousands of potential aircraft full of people who had *no* means to stop an onboard terrorist. Even the pilots and crew were federally guaranteed to be unable to resist hijackers by force.
What rendered the Pentagon, an obvious military target, undefended? The belief that it didn't need defending against air attack. The people inside were victims of government decisions not to provide defense against relatively easy attacks from the air.
All of the air attack victims are victims of government decisions not to expose, disrupt or wipe out aggressors who have announced their intentions to attack America.
As a nation, we have put all of our safety eggs into the basket of government and military. That's a mistake.
You will soon hear proposals to impose "heightened domestic security." Some will call for martial law. Many more will urge complete disarmament of Americans, "just to make sure" that the terrorist threat is reduced.
We can expect to hear calls to curtail citizens' rights because of the threat. We will hear "this event changes our ideas about how free a free society can be."
Wrong. Now is the time to *defend* a free society, not destroy it in fear. Now is the time to *protect our civilization*, not to collapse it because of acts of war.
Now is the time, not to disarm ourselves and resign to government protection, but to arm Americans against terrorist attacks. More Americans have to take active part in defending our nation, our communities, our families, ourselves.
America must again become the nation with whom no one tangles -- because our citizens are armed and determined to fight aggression to the death.
Terrorists must learn: Americans don't get terrorized -- Americans get prepared to fight back.

Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out!
I think this is why.
Am I crazy?
America must again become the nation with whom no one tangles -- because our citizens are armed and determined to fight aggression to the death.
Terrorists must learn: Americans don't get terrorized -- Americans get prepared to fight back.
Bump!!
Disarming the citizens should be way down on the list of priorities right now. If that's the way the efforts go, we'll know PDQ the culprit wasn't Osami.
From an old, armed soldier.
To those in our government that want to deny me the right to carry... GO TO HELL!!! STOP ME!! I'm a law abiding AMERICAN, and as such, I hold the Second Amendment sacred and I bestow upon myself the undeniable right to protect those that I love and my country with the necessary force to repel evil. I don't need your stinkin' permission slip. God save us all!!
More recently, I spent about 7 years working in a job where I traveled quite a bit to Europe. There was a time in the 80s when the company I work for would not allow it's employees to travel on US flagged carriers due to increased terrorist threats. I have walked through airports where machine gun armed soldiers walk the concourses, armored personnel carriers patrolled the taxiways, and where I had to go through two metal detectors, one at the entrance to the concourse and one at the entrance to the departure lounge of the flight I was on. There were curtained cubicles inside the lounge where they would take a person to be strip searched.
Due to today's events, I can see this happening here in America. I am afraid for our freedoms today.
