We amputate one limb for this enemy and what about the next one? Or the enemy after that? Again, like Peregrino said, we can win and still fail...

Well written. I agree ...I'm almost persuaded to take back some of my harsh exhortations. I love our country, my family and my fellow citizens....
I'm deathly concerned, however. I dare say I don't think we have had or will ever have an enemy like this one again in our history.
Couple thoughts...
- America is special - We need to take care not to damage our freedom and liberties
- We do need to think through our contigencies - Once hell breaks loose - Hell is upon us.
- We need to work with the American Islamic community to recognize how to preserve their best interests in America.
- We need to be infinitely vigilant to preserve our freedoms and way of life - to enforce the laws we have and reorganize our capabilities to protect ourselves.
Everything is in God's hands.
