This Time, Big Stick Necessary The Forum - 09/13/2001-- The United States has a couple of options as it responds to Tuesday's deadly terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. One is the business-as-usual approach. The other is a wholesale change in foreign policy as it relates to terrorism. President Bush hinted strongly Tuesday night that the latter will be his administration's course of action. That's good news. Business as usual would be a continuation of the failed policy of previous administrations. Essentially, the policy was law enforcement. Following a terrorist attack, the United States would work to identify ...

It was a caravan that no New Yorker ever wants to see. Convoys of refrigerator trucks began transporting the bodies and body parts extracted from the twisted rubble and debris around the World Trade Center yesterday. A line of six 16-wheelers was parked on Vesey St. and shortly after noon, emergency workers began loading body bags, one by one, into a truck backed up to the atrium of the World Financial Center. They labored in the smoke and ashes that still swirled through the area. Five other trucks and drivers were lined up, waiting their turn. At 4:56 p.m., the ...

Fire and brimstone © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com After the attack on the United States this week, like many writers I scrapped the column I had prepared on another subject. Not being an expert on foreign policy or on things military, I instead followed the counsel of Proverbs 1:5 to "hear … and increase learning." The most common thing I heard was the word "war." USA Today's front page the next morning screamed "An Act of War." Political leaders across the spectrum immediately called it just that, an act of war. Not a bombing, or even a terrorist attack, but an act of ...

THE WATCHMAN Flatten them © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com The charred body parts of Tuesday's victims aren't even buried and I've already begun to hear the pacifism of columnists and others: "Violence begets violence." "This should be a measured response." I don't think so. Tell me again: How many men, women and children died this time? Thousands? Most likely. Tens of thousands? Possibly. When are we ever going to learn? Appeasement does not work! It never has. It never will. The Israelis, God bless them, offered Arafat nearly everything he wanted – his response was to murder more Israelis. The U.S. has ignored ...

(CNSNews.com) - A top House Republican is pushing for legislation that would permit the United States to use assassination as a tool to get back at terrorists and others who pose national security threats.Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, believes the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. Tuesday provide an opportunity for Congress to pass the Terrorist Elimination Act, which he introduced earlier this year.Barr called on his congressional colleagues to take "real steps towards untying the hands" of the U.S. military and intelligence community in order to fight what he called the ...

What a world we live in, where we can watch mass murder, live on TV, endlessly repeated. We sit riveted by the pictures, which seem all the more surreal because they come so far ahead of any real information about the human damage. We watch the familiar tourist attraction crumble, but we don't hear the screams or see the carnage - not yet. Those of us from the generations that have never known war have only one frame of reference for this kind of horror - it's like something out of a movie. We know how idiotic that is, ...

Declaration of war! © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com "The kings of the earth will see the smoke of her burning, and they'll cry and carry on, the kings who went night after night to her brothel. They'll keep their distance for fear they'll get burned, and they'll cry their lament: 'Doom, doom, the great city doomed!' 'City of Babylon, strong city!' 'In one hour it's over, your judgment come!'" Rev. 18:9-10 Some of us have grown hoarse warning that America has few friends left in the world. Has the destruction of the World Trade Center, the dismembered bodies strewn over the streets of ...

Bravest pluck survivors from debris Buried beneath tons of rubble, a trapped Port Authority sergeant reached for his cell phone and called relatives in far-off Pennsylvania. The unidentified sergeant's exact words were not known last night, but what he told his kin was enough for a Nassau County emergency rescue team to find him. He said he had been on the 81st floor of one of the World Trade Center towers when it was struck by a jetliner. Somehow, he survived when the building collapsed around him — and he fell to the ground, buried under debris. For three hours, ...

FOR RELEASE: September 12, 2001 Statement on the New York City and Washington, DC Terrorist Attacks Yesterday, millions of American awakened to find the nation at war, attacked by barbarians who targeted innocent civilians.

For the moment, we can only share our grief and our condolences with those who lost family and friends. In our grief, we must remember our responsibilities. Congress has an obligation in this constitutional republic to preserve freedom and provide for national security. Sadly, our security measures were not ...

Firefighters and rescue workers search for their own throughout the night By Chris Brennan brennac@phillynews.com NEW YORK - The giant shards of what were the twin towers of the World Trade Center were stabbed into the soil of lower Manhattan, looming above the police officers and firefighters picking through the terror below. In the span of a sunny September Tuesday, they were gone. By 2:45 a.m. yesterday, the task at hand was grim. "If you find a body and it's dead, move on," a New York City Fire Department battalion chief told a group of firefighters heading into the ...

Dive & crawl out of debris Instinct, experience, stone-faced determination and dumb luck pulled survivors through the destruction of the World Trade Center — but all were left wondering why they were spared when so many others died. For several hours, co-workers thought fire paramedic Gary Smiley was dead. The 17-year veteran survived the avalanche of debris that had been 2 World Trade Center by diving under his damaged ambulance. "I just knew I wasn't going to outrun it," Smiley, 38, said. "I got under my truck as far as I could go and just prayed to God that it ...

The wakeup call © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com America got its long-awaited, long-anticipated and long-dreaded wakeup call. The terror war came home in a big way Tuesday, Sept. 11. Everything has changed. Nothing will be the same, again. Just look at the impact the slaughter and destruction had on George W. Bush and Colin Powell, for instance. For months, as Israel has faced, on a daily basis, similar terror incidents carried out by people living within its very borders, Bush and Powell have told the Israelis over and over again: "Show restraint. Negotiate. Don't use excessive force. Don't retaliate. Break the cycle of ...

Escape From New York by James M. Sheehan I was riding a commuter ferry into mid-town Manhattan when the first hijacked airliner crashed into the World Trade Center. The people around me gasped and pointed in the direction of the Twin Towers, allowing me to turn and see the first plume of smoke rising off the top. A gaping hole could be seen in the side of the tower. People on the ferry did not act very concerned, figuring it was a freak accident perhaps involving a commuter jet or a small helicopter. Nobody could sense the imminent tragedy that ...

Terror's shockwaves echo in the waters of the Pacific The carnage in the US has changed the world and will have direct consequences for Australian society, writes Padraic P. McGuinness. It was no fault of Justice Tony North that his judgment on the Tampa boatpeople should have been delivered only a few hours before the worst act of terrorism since that term began to be used. They are in no way connected, but the speculation about the perpetrators of that act will certainly ensure that the North judgment will not have to wait for its demolition by higher courts; popular ...

The War at Home September 10, 2001 "You may not be interested in war," Leon Trotsky said, "but war is interested in you." Yesterday, it hunted us down and snatched thousands from their airplane seats, their morning briefings, and their business meetings with grisly efficiency. In an act of terror too horrific to comprehend, much less control, America was attacked by a power too cowardly to show its face. A century of titans' clashes left the U.S. mainland unscathed. We felt secure within our borders, confident of our country's strength. But this morning, twin icons to our old invincibility ...

3 passengers likely saved 4th target WASHINGTON Heroic passengers aboard the hijacked flight from Newark — led by a courageous new father from New Jersey — apparently got together to foil a plot to drive the plane into the White House or Capitol. They paid for the lives of many innocents with their own. Passenger Jeremy Glick of West Milford, N.J., called his wife from the plane to tell her they had been hijacked by three knife-wielding Arabs wearing red headbands. They had turned the Boeing 757 — originally heading for San Francisco — toward Washington by brandishing a box ...
