Remember the Egyptian pilot who crashed the passenger plane muttering Islamic prayers? That was puzzling when it happened, but it is understandable now. These killers experiment and have trial runs.
The killer could be a terrorist helping to perfect technique.
Even if he is not, even if he is a lone psychotic serial killer, the successes he has had have not been lost on the terrorists who are studying us.
Bush is right. America is at war with international terrorism, though Americans do not want to be.
Bush's recognition of this horrible fact immediately after the September 11 attack was brilliant in its clarity and focus.
This war will be horrible. It has already come to American soil. The enemy is every bit as fanatical, vicious, and dangerous as Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan.
America must win this war. It will take every bit of American knowhow. Most importantly it will require clarity, focus, and resolve.
God is with us! Take courage from that.
How do you know that? How do you know that God isn't using islam to judge America for its heinous sins? It wouldn't be the first time God has judged a nation, would it? God used the evil empires of Assyria and Nebuchadnezzar to judge a wayward Israel. Why is America special? America has kicked God out of the public square, is the biggest propagator of pornography and weapons of war in the world, the biggest killer of unborn babies (next to China maybe), and the American people are mostly moral relativist. Now, there's a nation God can love, eh?
