Thanks, By the Way
America experienced no major terrorist attack on its soil in the run-up to the election. This can't be for lack of trying. If the terrorists bombed Spain, at best a peripheral country in the war on terror, to influence its election, you know that they would have loved to have bombed the Great Satan. But they didn't. All we got was a VHS valentine from Osama.
Thank you to the US Military, to the administration, to the department of homeland security, to the FAA, to the Phoenix Police, to the FBI, to the CIA, and to everyone else who made this non-event possible. And, thank you to all the citizens of the US, who, whatever issues they might have with those in power, would never harbor a terrorist. This sounds like an obvious statement, but its not. It is in fact our best defense against terrorism. Europe is much more vulnerable, because it has communities and groups and various cities who ARE willing to aid and abet terrorists.
