Terror

When I think about some asshole getting on a train with a bomb, or plowing a truckload of explosives into a school, or releasing some kind of poison into the water supply, my heart fills with hate. I worry about my wife, my son, my friends. The thought that these bastards could do something in the name of Allah to hurt or kill people I love... I feel like we ought to get them first before they have a chance. I admit, I'm not sure what that means. I don't have the answer.

But I do know that it doesn't mean that four years after they did it the last time, our Government ought to be getting a report card like this:

The Bush administration and Congress are "moving at a crawl" against nimble terrorists, leaving the country vulnerable more than four years after the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, the former September 11 Commission said in a scathing final report on Monday.

We have a right to expect more from Bush, Congress and law enforcement. What the hell have they been doing for the last four years? They talk a good game but this is simply unacceptable. While we stay the course in Iraq, the efforts at home have been nothing short of criminally negligent. If this "final" report doesn't wake the country up about our failing leaders, nothing will.
