Rick Santorum sums it up.

Hugh Hewitt has this from The Herald Standard:


"In a speech before the Pennsylvania Press Club, the two-term Pennsylvania senator offered a broad historical context to "the enemy of our generation" by saying the war against Islamic fascists didn't begin on Sept. 11, 2001.

Santorum said the U.S. embassy takeover in Iran 27 years was part of this war, as was the Marine killings in Beirut, the bombing of the USS Cole and the 1993 World Trade Center attacks. Today's aggression by Hezbollah against Israel in Lebanon also is part of the picture, he said, as is Iran's efforts to gain a nuclear bomb."

Hugh then says this:

"The insights that Santorum offered in his Monday speech will likely strike few readers here as original. Nonetheless, this is the first time that I’m aware of that a politician has so bluntly, honestly and publicly connected the dots."

That stuck me. Because the bottom line here is either you believe this or you don't. You either believe that radical Muslims have had an ongoing campaign of terror against the U.S. or you don't. You either believe that all the past bombings and attacks directed at the U.S. led toward 9-11 or you don't. You either believe that we are still in danger and our children's future safety is at risk or you don't.

How you can't believe it, I have no idea. But the very dangerous thing, in my mind, is that the Democrats obviously don't believe it.
