History Repeats Itself

While America slumbered unaware of the al Qaeda threat during the Summer of 2001, the top stories in the media were the search for a missing young woman and shark attacks. Now, less than four years after 9/11, what are the top stories in the media? The search for a missing young woman and shark attacks.

The greatest danger facing this country is the lapse into a September 10th mindset. Al Qaeda and its affiliated networks remain a formidable adversary, in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world. They are as determined as ever to strike a devastating blow here in the US. Mindless fear is not the answer. Wishing the threat away, however, is even more dangerous.
