One way or another, there will always be someone who hates us and wants to see us fall.Betsy Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871010122475160477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544313573726082343.post-8706859234577190392011-05-04T11:40:30.546-04:002011-05-04T11:40:30.546-04:00This is precisely why I'm feeling rather neutr...This is precisely why I'm feeling rather neutral about bin Laden's death. We made a statement by taking him out, but we didn't end the violence. There'd be more cause to celebrate had bin Laden experienced a change of heart during his life and used his influence to stop the jihad. Then, I'd dance in the streets. Now, I know it's a matter of "one down, countless more to go." We've been put into a position of using violence to end violence, which is unsettling and sad, in my opinion. I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel...D.C.

I was speaking with a friend yesterday who's in the intelligence community. He too was bemoaning the fact that we don't have consolidated terror watch lists. I reminded him that, until 9/11, the terrorist who killed more people on US soil was a blond militarist named Timothy McVeigh. He wouldn't have appeared on any watch list.Betsy Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871010122475160477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544313573726082343.post-54891964070536285292011-05-04T11:35:20.515-04:002011-05-04T11:35:20.515-04:00Great review on war against terrorism.
