Or perhaps on any given day one of them might decide instead to pilot a jetliner fully laden with fuel and passengers into the side of one of the world's foremost symbols of global trade. Then again, perhaps they might prefer to abduct a foreign contractor or two, and saw his head off with a large knife; perhaps they will torture him first, while they hold a telephone to his lips so that his mother can hear him as he screams. All have happened before, and all may happen again.
The Islamo-fascists are friends to no one on this Earth; as if mercilessly slaughtering the innocent was not enough, they defraud well-meaning individuals of their money by using "charities"? as fronts to fund terrorist training programs and weapons acquisition. And yet, despite their danger and the depth of their evil, they have permeated society to an unimaginable degree, and their battle hymns are sung on every continent save Antarctica.
We cannot defeat them, but we can go a long way toward stalling their efforts by first realizing that they exist, which is something that far too many Americans, and people around the world, fail and sometimes refuse to do. So open your eyes, friends, Americans, countrymen, and do not quail in the face of our greatest foe yet.
