TERRORISM IN THE US

Posted on June 29, 2007

We know they are here. They have simply walked across the border, or come in on still easy to get ’student’ visas, or in dozens or hundreds of other ways.
It is not so much a question of where they are from it is how long can we keep dodging their attacks?

A powerful bomb went off at 4:45 PM this afternoon in front of the local High School, leaving one dead and five injured.

Three people were killed in a suicide bombing in a bakery today, the first suicide bombing in the city. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack.

Nine people were killed and at least 40 wounded in a suicide bombing near the old central bus station. The blast ripped through the same restaurant that was hit by an attack on January 19.

As Friday dawns, investigators are picking through the carnage created by a coordinated bomb attack on three of the city’s subway trains and a city bus.

These are all extracted from real news stories from other countries. How long will our headlines continue to read:

Six Arrested in Plot to Attack NJ Army BaseBush details thwarted 2002 terrorist attack

Details emerge on alleged plot to bomb airliners Officials: Manhunt has thwarted 2 attacks

We will not be able to continue to avoid suicide bombings, car bombs, who knows what other terrorist attacks as long as we are complacent about our border security. The Amnesty bill is now, once again - hopefully forever - pronounced dead. That does not mean attention to the problem of illegal immigration can be ignored - far from it!

We know that terrorists walk among us, they are being shielded by people who want to see the USA brought down - for whatever misguided reasons. They are not being “outed” by people because they are of the same religion or ethnicity or speak the same language. They are also ignored by people out of sheer apathy.

How long did the neighbors of the 6 men, described as Islamic radicals, ignore or even hide what had to be suspicious activities. Three of these men were immediately determined to be illegal aliens.

What will it take to wake up our leaders and the masses to to the fact that we are at war and the enemy walks our streets and lives among us?
