That is a somewhat inelegant way of summarizing the attitude of many who have attacked the President's policies over the last year. I won't get into the absurdities or the details of the many claims that have been made to discredit the U.S. effort in this area. (Though, if President Bush had knowingly set out to break the law and flaunt the Constitution, as many have claimed, he's the only master criminal in history to do so by setting up an elaborate review process of his actions and informing the leadership of both parties in Congress of what he was doing. How sneaky can one get?)
What I will do, however, is give thanks that the British didn't buy into the nonsense that if we ignore the terrorist threat it will go away. Yesterday, they arrested some two dozen home grown Islamic terrorists that were just days away from blowing up numerous trans-Atlantic flights and killing hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent people. The British attribute their success to active surveillance of the terrorists.
To the British: thank you for listening to the terrorists and not to their apologists. Please keep it up.
