Lest we forget...

...today is the anniversary of heroism, cowardice and religious fanaticism. Heroism known and unknown, in the air on United Airlines Flight 93, and on the ground after the aircraft hit. One New Zealander was on board United 93; Alan Beaven, who would have used his strength and courage in the final hours of his life to help defeat the terrorists. Alan Beaven was one of over 3000 victims of Al Queda on September 11th 2001. We owe it to them all to maintain the struggle and the rage against the cavemen of Islam...The Twin Towers were all about modernity and the future. Islam is all about the past and about the demand that it be imposed on the present and the future...Every year when September 11th comes around, we must remind ourselves of the triumph of our Constitution, our dedication to freedom and liberty, and our capacity to defeat the enemies of these inalienable rights.Our grandparents defeated the Nazis and the imperialistic Japanese. Then they and our parents held steadfast against the Soviets for nearly five decades. We fought in Korea and we fought in Vietnam. The current generation’s bravest and best have been fighting our enemies in Afghanistan and Iraq.We must draw on the reservoir of courage they bequeathed us and, for my part, we must never let lose of the anger we felt eight years ago when a handful of evil men attacked the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, with yet another intended target.Al Qaeda? Hunt them! Find them! Kill them!Do not listen to the appeasers, the Blame America crowd. Surrender is not an option...more from Alan Caruba at Warning Signs here...
