Thank goodness I am not losing my mind. My husband and I are strong supporters of the president and have daughters working in the administration. Where has he been? Where is the strong leadership we saw in the past? We understand all too clearly that these people want to dominate the world with extreme Islam and destroy all who stand in their way. This is not going to end.

We watched the first part of the special on 9-11 Sunday evening. It makes me angry that we have been so far behind in realizing what has been taking place over many years. I realize this is a difficult time for our intelligence and a difficult organization to infiltrate. But over the years these terrible individuals have been setting themselves up all over the world — they are in place — we are trying to put our fingers in the dike. I want to see a tough, hard response by our military — wherever it’s needed. We must show strength and resolve and those who wring their hands on human and civil rights be damned. We are fighting for our existence. We know these people will not hesitate to use nuclear, biological or chemical weapons or any other means to destroy us. The president has much ground to make up on this. We have said time and again the he needs to be out in front of the American people at least once a month pounding home the idea of what we are up against, how we’re doing, and the resolve to do it. I feel sure the American people will gladly and with relief fight this war as if we really mean it.

If polls were taken that asked another question, do you think more force should be used in the war on terror, instead of do you approve of the way it is being fought, I think the results would surprise you. If we are going to win this war, then get in there and WIN it. br> — Elaine Kyle
