Sept. , dozens of capable airplane passengers allowed themselves to be ov erpowered by a handful of poorly armed terrorists because they did not comprehend the depth of hatred that motivated their captors. On Sept. II, thousands of innocent people were murdered because too many Americans naively reject the reality that some nations are dedicated to the dominance of others. Many political pundits, pacifists and media personnel want us to forget the carnage. They say we must focus on the bravery of the rescuers and ignore the cowardice l the killers.

I will not be influenced by so called,"anti war demonstrators w ho exploit the right of expression to chant obscenities. I w ill not forget the moral victory handed the North Vietnamese by American war protesters who reviled and spat upon the returning soldiers, airmen, sailors and Maanti-Americ- an 1 rines. I will not be softened by the wishful thinking of pacifists who chose reassurance over reality. I will embrace the wise words of Prime Minister Tony Hlair who told Labor Party conference, They have no moral inhibition on the slaughter of the innocent. If they could have murdered not 7,(X)0 but 70, (XK), does anyone doubt they would ! have done st and rejoiced in it? There is no compromise possible with such people, no meeting of minds, no point of understanding with such terror. Just a choice: defeat it or be defeated by it. And defeat it we must!" I will force myself to: hear the weeping feel the helplessness imagine the terror sense the panic smell the burning flesh experience the loss remember the hatred. I sat in a movie theater, watching Private Ryan and asked myself. Where did they find the courage? Now I know. We have no choice. Living without lib- tors. Major television stations have announced they will assist the healing process hy not replaying devastating footage of the planes crashing into the Twin l owers. I will not I will not be manipulated. pretend to understand. I will not forget. I will not isolate myself from my fellow Americans hy pretending an attack on the USS Cole in Yemen was not an attack on the United States of America. I will not forget the Clinton administration equipped Islamic terrorists and their supporters with the worlds most sophisticated telecommunications equipment and erty is not living.
