The superb work of our law-enforcement officials in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing ignited a blaze of self-congratulation that obscured the event’s implications.
Yeah, we killed one fanatic and nabbed the other. But our dysfunctional system couldn’t prevent this latest Boston Massacre.
That carnage was a dirt-cheap terrorist triumph. Fanatics will take its lessons to their shriveled jihadi hearts:
Lesson No. 1: Two amateur terrorists can paralyze a major American city for days. The Tsarnaev punks generated global headlines, ran up millions in government expenses, punished a major metro-area economy and disrupted society. And now we’ve got a costly civilian trial to come for the surviving brother — with more headlines to inspire copycats.
We’re relieved that the two young terrorists were “brought to justice” and delude ourselves that we “won.” Uh-uh. At the cost of two expendable young thugs, a few guns and a couple of homemade bombs, radical Islam generated a bloodbath that created genuine terror on our soil.
Al Qaeda and its ilk have long used suicide bombers and doomed assassins to rupture societies in the Middle East, killing tens of thousands of Muslims (a fact we fail to exploit in our lame “information campaigns”). Now the Islamists are in the export business. Expect more of these low-cost, high-return missions within our borders.
Lesson No. 2: The best weapons against targets in the US are disaffected legal immigrants or radicalized native-born converts to jihad.....

Agreed. Boston/Massachusetts just guaranteed this is going to happen again somewhere else.
"Endeavour to persevere".
That kind of chit is going to get people to start shooting back.
The two who shut down Boston were not the Tsarnaevs, but Patrick and Menino. They are worse than amateur terrorists; they are professional politicians, and pose a much more direct and imminent threat to our way of life than a couple of crockpot wielding muzzies.
How can there ever be total victory over man's inhumanity to man as long as man rules this orb? We can only be satisfied with small wins over evil, we are incapable of ending it.
Lost me right there. What was "superb" about any of the law enforcement activities?
I guess he was being polite.
no dogs were shot...
That we know of.
And the cops were able to keep the Dunkin Donuts open during the lockdown, so they got that going for them.
If we still had a GOP instead of a RINO party, they would scream from every roof top about that. But no, as usual the RINOs will cower into a fetal position while the Treason party lets even more of these mutts into the country. A few years ago I drove a taxi in New York city in between jobs, and it is absolutely mind boggling the amount of potential jihadists driving cabs. I would talk to them everyday while waiting for a cab, everything is the fault of the Jews, America is the great killer. Saying all this crap while wearing full Islamic garb. How the F did they get into the country?
