No Moderate Solutions to Extremism

The attacks of September 11 roused a nation and a civilization to anger and action. Since then, the extremists have lost sanctuaries and popular support in Afghanistan and Iraq, and are being hunted down on every continent by an unprecedented global coalition.

They have struck back using everything from knapsacks to cars to kill hundreds of innocent people in places such as Spain, Turkey, Kenya, Indonesia, Russia and, now, London. They seek to destroy things they could never build in 1,000 years and kill people they could never persuade.

They failed on September 11. They are failing in Iraq and Afghanistan. And, knowing what we know about the British people, in attacking London the extremists have no doubt failed again.

No one likes Sec. Rumsfeld any more than me, but I am becoming very worried that the truth is not being told. I don't think the Secretary is lying, he is simply not addressing the correct issues.
Someone should ask him a simple question like this.
If the terrorist are successful in carrying out Bin Laden's blueprint of nuclear terror like never before in America, what will our reponse be?
Or, when will our own borders be secure?
