America fought Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan and won. America faced down Stalin and Krushnev and their nukes and won. Empires with millions of soldiers, sailors, pilots, factory workers and scientists, empires with tanks and submarines and missiles, empires that spanned time zones and dominated entire continents have challenged us and failed. Now, we face a pitiful handful of religious kooks, and, encouraged by craven leaders, we tremble in fear.

According to President Bush, America's greatest enemy has no state, no navy, no air force, a tiny and pathetic "army" good for nothing but guerrilla warfare. It is funded and supplied exclusively through underground channels and openly supported by almost no one. Yet, despite the pathetic state of our "opposition," the Republicans continue to insist that defending us from them should be the primary goal of government, that everything else should be pushed aside in the name of security. They want us to give up our rule of law, to relinquish our rights, to ignore the very Constitution that makes this country the great place it is--all to protect us from the weak, pathetic spectre of Islamic terrorism.

This is because they are cowards.
