The greatest success of the Bush/Cheney administration over the past four years is what has NOT happened to us. Our cities’ transportation systems have not been turned into raging infernos as happened in London this past July. Our trains have not been blown up as happened in Spain. American planes have not exploded in the air as happened in Russia. School children have not been taken hostage by terrorists.

The acolytes of the evil one have been planning attacks on America and until now our government has been able to thwart them. We know that we could again be hit, at anytime, for America is the apple of the eye for the terrorist. If you are a resident of New York, Virginia (The Pentagon, Arlington, Virginia 2001) or Pennsylvania you know full well your own vulnerability to terrorism. We three states have been attacked on our own blessed soil. We have seen the devastation first hand. The fact that nothing has happened since, is NO coincidence!

Just one year ago in Beslan, Russia, was demonstrated exactly what this War on Terror is about. Never forget that even your children are not safe from these barbarians. Radical Islamists think nothing of blowing up your grandchildren. You are not safe as long as their hatred exists on the face of this earth.

This month the city of New Orleans was deluged and destroyed, as had been feared by those in charge of our nation’s security (see “Cajun Counterterrorism“). Yet it did not happen by an act of terror, but by the unconquerable force of nature.

Who are America’s Angels? They are the citizens of this great land, civilians, military and government employees, who every single day are watchful of this nation’s security. Be ever grateful to them and never forget September 11th. Be ever Proud to be an American.

Here is Ray Charles singing “America”. If you want more patriotic music for today, check out Jack’s Patriotic Midi Tunes.
