We recall all those killed in the
massacre of the September 11 Terrorist Attacks and the bravery of the many
first responders and other heroes on that day.
We also thank the soldiers, intelligence agents, and other countless
other public servants who have served in the War on Terrorism, at home and
abroad, including in Afghanistan and Iraq, and recall all those who have
fallen.
We praise all the elected
officials, from Presidents and Congress to state and local officials who have
initiated and continued anti-terrorism polices.
United States President Barack Obama deserves credit for continuing most
of his predecessor, George W. Bush’s, policies in the War on Terrorism that
have kept us safe from another massive terrorist attack for eleven years, a
result which, immediately after the attacks, few would have predicted. Regrettably, several of the Obama
Administration’s policies have left Americans more vulnerable to terrorism and
other militant attacks, as I have noted in previous posts. In this matter, nothing less than perfection
is acceptable. Although Obama has been
good, he has not been perfect, either at home, or in Afghanistan
or Iraq . Thankfully, we have not yet paid the price
for foolish policies.
Today, however, we
focus on remembering all that we lost on September 11 and being thankful that we have not lost
more and grateful for life and liberty, while we must continue to advocate for the right policies to avoid
another dark day like the one eleven years ago. May God Bless America.
