Even with a nuclear Iran looming on the horizon and the prospect that its nuclear weapons will end up in the hands of international terrorists that it has been sponsoring for years, many in the media and the government that is supposed to protect us have been preoccupied with whether we are being nice enough to the terrorists in our custody.

There will be nothing "nice" about the fallout (pun intended) if a terrorist nuke ever goes off in the U.S.

Fallout can be identified as to the source. I would not want to be near or downwind of the country that provided the sandmaggots with the means to commit another mass murder of Americans.

The euroweenies can arrange their own aftermath.

Another quote from Dr. Sowell's article. This man has developed wisdom...

"Sheltered for years from terrorist dangers that we so much feared after the Sept. 11th attacks, many have come to act as if those dangers do not exist and that we now have the luxury of dismantling the means by which they have been held at bay this long.

In a country where all sorts of individuals and organizations tap into our personal computers and our computerized medical, financial and other records, some have gone ballistic over the fact that the federal government tries to keep track of who is being phoned by international terrorist organizations.

No amount of security precautions can protect us from all the thousands of ways in which terrorists can strike at times and places of their own choosing -- and eventually strike with nuclear weapons. Our only hope is to get advance information from those we capture as to where other terrorists are and how they operate.

Squeamishness about how this is done is not a sign of higher morality but of irresponsibility in the face of mortal dangers."
