I voted that I was not afraid of him before the war, however; I am afraid of what people like him can cause to happen. The views of radical Islamics is terrifying. The fear of death is what makes military force effective - be it your death or someone elses. Homicide bombers are looking for death - Stop or I'll shoot means nothing to them. I dont't think we'll ever "feel safe" in this country again. Perhaps we were existing in la-la land prior to the terrorist attacks - perhaps we were not safe before that. I'm not sure what safe is - it is nothing more than a feeling and I doubt we'll ever really have that feeling in this country again. Do I feel safer at this moment? Yes! I do. Will this feeling last? Only until the next terrorist bomb goes off somewhere in the world - NO! Wait! That happened last night in Israel. Until there is a feeling of peace, everywhere in the world, we are never safe. When dealing with people who are gullible enough to allow someone else to convince them that they will be better off if they blow themselves up no where on earth will ever be safe.
