"It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth -- and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. ... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it." --Patrick Henry

That's why I like Bush. He doesn't over-think it. He wakes up every morning, jumps out of bed, lands on his two feet, scratches his balls, and says, "Let's kill some fucking terrorists!" --Dennis Miller

"Today our nation pays tribute to our veterans—25 million vets... At this hour, a new generation of Americans is defending our flag and our freedom in the first war of this century. This war came to our shores on the morning of September 11, 2001...We know that they want to strike again and our nation has made a clear choice. We will confront this mortal danger to all humanity. We will not tire or rest until the War on Terror is won... [I]t is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began... We will never back down. We will never give in. We will never accept anything less than complete victory." —President George W. Bush

Whatever else he may of done wrong, President Bush was right in this one thing; we have been attacked, and are still under attack, by an implacable enemy, and we need to wake up from our slumber and respond to this reality, or we will no longer exist as a nation, at least not the same nation we knew in the past, in the near future.
