THERE IS A WAY FOR US TO FIGHT THESE GOONS … RIGHT HERE AT HOME
Each one of these panic episodes is a victory to the terrorists. They’re used to adversity. It’s a way of life for them. One of the things that outraged them so much about America – one of the points of their jealousy – was that Americans could go about their daily routines in both relative freedom and security. To the extent that they are able to take either freedom or security away --- they have a victory. They’ve done both.
There is a role for all of us to play. We can continue to enjoy the privilege of being Americans – of living in the freest society on the face of the earth. Nothing irritates those who hate you more than your continued success. So --- lighten up, dammit. Suck it in. Try to show a little strength and courage. You’re not going through anything the vast majority of people in this world haven’t gone through. Try to show them that the very freedom they would like to destroy hasn’t made you weak.
