The price of appeasement

Prior to 9/11, we tried the Democratic approach to fighting terrorism. An escalating series of attacks culminated in catastrophic blows against Manhattan and Washington.

Our era must grapple with extremists who seek access to tiny war-machines capable of unimaginable destruction.

The thought of another Carter-esque, weak-willed appeaser as President is disturbing, at best.
