Where was this false courage of yours when the explosion in Beirut took place on 1983 AD (1403 A.H). You were turned into scattered pits and pieces at that time; 241 mainly marines solders were killed. And where was this courage of yours when two explosions made you to leave Aden in less than twenty four hours!

br> One of the problems President Bush faces in fighting terrorism is that he'll never get credit for thwarting attacks that never materialize, but he'll get all the blame for the visible costs of responding to terrorism. With more than five years having passed without an attack and with the human and financial cost of fighting terrorism growing each day, it's easy to see how Mueller's arguments would appeal to war-weary Americans. But whether or not someone supports the Iraq War or all of Bush's anti-terror strategy, it's important that Americans agree to disagree with Mueller. Should we go back to viewing terrorism as a mere "nuisance," as John Kerry once put it, the threat will only continue to grow exponentially.
