DO YOU WANT TO BE SAFE FROM THE "TERRORISTS"?
The only way that will ever happen is if you ask and understand, 'WHY?". Start by asking ourself, "what would it take for me to strap a bomb to myself and go try to blow up an airplane full of my supposed enemies?". And don't fool yourself by saying you would never ever do such a thing.
Remember Nat Turner, he was the top "terrorist" of his time. How about Harriet Tubman? Sure, we are taught that she was the equivalent of a stewardess on the underground railroad, but the real history depicts a shotgun-toting lioness of a woman, not afraid to kill or die for what she believed in. That list goes on and on, and we salute and revere them for what they did.
So ask yourself some hard questions, if you ever want to feel safe again. Then ask yourself, why is it that no one else is asking or answering these same hard questions.

Thank God for Helen Thomas, the only person to show any courage at the White House press briefing after President Barack Obama gave a flaccid account of the intelligence screw-up that almost downed an airliner on Christmas Day.
