"Five years ago, one of the terrorists said that an attack could make America run in less than 24 hours. They're learning something different today.

And who was President 5 years ago???

"We've adopted a new strategy for a new kind of war: We will not wait for known enemies to strike us again."

Thank you, President Bush!

Bush ended the recesion in 2001 and defeated 2 of our declared enemies
in less than 18 months.

We've lost a lot of men ( and some women) in Afghanistan and Iraq. But we've given as good ( and better) than we've got.

For too long (30+ years) Americans were slaughtered by Middle Easter terrorists without us putting up a fight.

The war started many years ago; it took us a long time to clue in.

Now we're on the offensive and it may take a generation to clean out the nests of hate-indoctrinated wannabe warriors.

We need to stay on course and stay focussed, while never forgetting to appreciate the sacrifice made by these soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines.

As I continue to pray for our leaders, especially the president, and our country, I keep having the sense that a growing volume of Americans, no matter their political stripe, are beginning to feel an uncomfortable edginess in our current and temporary relative state of security under Bush's leadership. It feels as if there are many who never thought about such things before, who now realize that we owe this temporary calming of the storm specifically to the presence of George W. Bush and his wisdom to appoint real, hard-nose, no-nonsense crime fighters to protect us. And our Constitution shuts the door on this protection after Bush's second term, should he receive one.

Hence, the edginess. The awareness that the terrorists won't close up shop just because their chief rival exits the White House they tried to destroy. In fact, I expect they are hatching plans to hit even harder after Bush leaves office.

One thing I have learned as a voting American. America has not been able to trust her national defense to any democrat since FDR's administration. I hope we can produce an extremely viable Republican candidate to run against the dems in 2008. Some, probably many, of our lives will depend on it, and on his / her success in being elected.
