"America Towers"
Ralph Peters
writes in the New York Post today that 2003 was a bad year for Islamist mercenaries:
In 2003, a new generation of enemies learned that America not only fights ferociously, but follows through with tremendous residual power. In one of history's great paradoxes, the provocation of 9/11 -- intended to humble us -- unleashed our dormant might and rejuvenated the historical trend toward liberty. The Twin Towers fell, but two years later America towers over the world as never before.
He also points out that terrorists' "last desperate hope" is to attack the United States so severely that President Bush loses the 2004 presidential election. How telling is it that terrorists prefer a Democrat president?
