None of this “Oh woe” crap.

None of this “It could have been us.”

None of this “The end is nigh” bullshit.

You know why? Because it *was* us. And now New York City is a fucking fortress. And that’s not a bad thing. Had we gotten the Olympics, something might have happened, yes. But you know what? I agree with this guy. It’s been 4 years. And the best they could do is kill 33 people in London. Not to belittle or diminish the atrocity of the attacks, but think about it… 3000 to 33. It’s pathetic. You know what that means? I know that there are those who do not want to hear this, but it means that we are winning.

One has to realize that we are at war. All of us. And honestly, really and truly, there is nothing that we can do about that except to fight. We cannot end this war except by winning it. Those who stand on the side of sanity are under threat from the forces of nutjobitude and will be until such time as those forces are one way or another neutralized.

This is not the time to lay down and sob. This is the time to assess the progress, assess the failures, pick up the pieces, and keep going. That is how you stand up and spit it back in their face.
