For example, if my neighbor is building a homebuilt in his garage, I
can have the cops there within a few hours to check him out. Sadly,
this is not the America of a few years ago. We are a jittery,
frightened society now, and the terrorists are sitting in their caves
laughing their asses off.


As horrific as 9/11 was (and I was there), it was not militarily
significant. Except to the terrorist organizations who felt, and will be
feeling, the brunt of a very powerful military. Some sanity has to return
to government and how they respond to threats. In short, we need strong
leadership, and by that I don't mean some administration deciding to invade
this or that country.
