These are the people we're cowering from?

Moussaoui testifies and essentially seeks to be executed. The guy is an idiot.

If this is God's will, then he has ceased to be God.

My sense of fear for my nation continues, mostly because so many of us would rather fight Evangelicals than the Islamists who want all Americans to follow those who died on 9/11. We do all we can to weaken our President and then complain that he's too weak. We've got politicians running around like chickens without heads and they're supposed to be the leaders! Bush isn't Churchill, but he has the same instincts and will. He just doesn't have the rhetorical skill. And we have news media whose approach to national security is to duck and cover and hope the threat goes away.

Personally, I prefer confronting Iran now, rather than later. The only way I can see through this is to stand tough, let Russia and China know that they don't want to mess with us in this case and if Iran won't drop its nuke plans and allow full inspection, bomb its facilities. Yes, it's an act of war, but so is developing nukes to wipe Israel off the map. (I'm sure the Palestinians will rejoice at the return of their lands, even if they do glow in the dark.) We are the big dog in the world and we need to start acting like it and quit tiptoeing around Muslims.
