Never Forget

Just in case any of you were getting comfortable thinking that terrorism isn't that big of a deal, we've had several reminders recently.

1. A militant terrorist group has been firing thousands of rockets into Israel for the last few weeks. Remember, this is not Lebanon that Israel is directly fighting. This is a terrorist group that is being provided weapons by countries that support terrorism. And don't believe for a second that this is the only terrorist group that has these types of weapons.

2. A new movie is being released this week to remind us of what happened on our own soil almost five years ago and the sacrifices that were made by so many Americans on that day.

3. Britain foiled a plot by (at least) 21 people to simultaneously blow up several aircraft in mid-flight. Obviously this was a large scale attempt that took a very long time to coordinate.


As a result of # 3, airline security is now banning passengers from bringing pretty much anything on an airplane. I read that to bring baby bottles on board, the parents will have to drink out of the bottle to show that there are no chemical weapons in it. I feel sorry for the parents who have to drink that nasty stuff, but I also am angered and disgusted that there is a very real threat that scum terrorists would and could resort to such a way of hiding something dangerous.

We must not ever forget what our enemies can do to us. And we must never give up fighting them at every possible level.
