Well thanks a lot, Fritz. Nice to know we can count on you. /sarcasm.

But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."

Today is Trinity Sunday. Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice: "Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be." - Winston Churchill, 1940

This then, my lords and gentlemen, is the message which we send forth today to all states and nations, bound or free, to all the men in all the lands who care for freedom's cause. To our Allies and well-wishers in Europe, to our American friends and helpers drawing ever closer in their might across the ocean, this is the message-lift up your hearts, all will come right. Out of depths of sorrow and sacrifice will be born again the glory of mankind. - Winston Churchill, 1941

"What kind of a people do they think we are? Is it possible that they do not realize that we shall never cease to persevere against them until they have been taught a lesson which they and the world will never forget?" - Winston Churchill, 1941

"... just students who they had no reason to suspect because they led unremarkable lives, typical of terrorist "sleepers".

"They had completely inconspicuous lives. Nothing they did gave us cause to be suspicious,..."

Amazing, I have been hearing this same thing from and about our investigators since 9-11. Well, at least I know the investigative forces in other countries are no better and no worse than ours. Doesn't make me feel very safe and secure though.

Atta was a regular "club class" air traveller, visiting Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, the United States and according to the FBI, other countries in the year before the attacks.

Amazing ain't it?

Terrosism is using the same tactics of the drug trade targeting the US as a haven for easily extorted money for pleasure trips and money/migrants. It's a domino flow of drugs and terrorism from rogue states, to lesser rogue states, to promising states like Iran, to Eastern states like the Czech republic to Germany, the gateway to Eastern Europe, and then throughout Europe and the US.
