As we pause on this, the seventh anniversary of the horrendous attacks on our country, I hope it will serve as a reminder that there are those out there who do not value freedom. They are driven by ideologies that are elitist and oppressive. They will stop at nothing, not even the inhumane, to drive those from this planet who oppose them and stand in the way of their tyranny.
Unfortunately, I fear there are those who have forgotten. There are those who even want to give them an excuse. They feel that by appeasing these enemies of ours they will protect us. They feel that if we can just "understand" them, we can avoid attacks. In doing so, they ignore one fact: there are people in this world who are bent on evil and no amount of "understanding" and appeasing will change them.
So, let us use this day to strengthen our resolve to ensure for future generations that there will never be another 9/11. Let us resolve that we will track down those who are bent on evil and do whatever is necessary to make sure they do no hold the power to wreck havoc on our world. Let us resolve that we are greater, and better, than they are.
