TOP 10 MOST DANGEROUS CITIES

Houston, We Have a Problem!
Most dangerous cities in America have one thing in common.

America, we have a far more urgent problem than urban crime. It's
called jihad. I hope we don't get so absorbed in slinging darts,
labels and blame at each other that we forfeit the liberty to do so
because we are too absorbed in internecine squabbles to deal with a
common threat.

I hope we don't place our priorities of being neocon, libber,
winger, black, white, red, yellow, Jew, Christian, Bhuddist or
whatever above our being Americans determined to preserve our
liberty.

This is not a veilled political statement.

I frankly don't know if what the current administration is doing is a
best course or even a viable course. I have no pat answer or
silver bullet to offer. I will note that politicians, our elected
leaders, waffle and lie like hell when the people can't agree on
what is important. Factions are the leverage of politics and the
achilles heal of our system. A very effective strategy in both
warfare and business is to foment internal conflict and indecision in
the adversary whenever and however possible. As Pogo Possum said,
"We've met the enemy and it is us."

We pulled together as Americans in WW II to defeat direct aggression
from Japan and to help our allies defeat Hitler's vision of world
domination.

WW ii was a very long time ago. We remember the victory won by our
ancestors that preserved our liberty, now we take that liberty for
granted. Bulletin: liberty is never granted in perpetuity,
however hard won. The grudging grantors (vanquished aggressors) are
gone within a generation if they didn't perish during the conflict,
and there will always be a new generaton of aggressors. That is now
the case.

I wonder if we still have the starch and will to vanquish a very
determined and ruthless aggressor with significant economic power
and religion-based zeolotry that mostly neutralizes natural fear of
death by casting it as an event of glorious martyrdom.
