He still doesn't get it

''We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance,'' Kerry said. ''As a former law-enforcement person, I know we're never going to end prostitution. We're never going to end illegal gambling. But we're going to reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn't on the rise. It isn't threatening people's lives every day, and fundamentally, it's something that you continue to fight, but it's not threatening the fabric of your life.''

Johnny still doesn't understand. We can never go back to 9/10 again. How can you tell the 3000 people that died at the hands of those terrorists that they were the victims of a "nuisance"? Our problem is not a "law enforcement" problem. Approaching it as such, as the Clinton administration did, is what made 9/11 possible. Kerry's basic misunderstanding of the nature of terrorism is the one thing that makes him most unfit to command.
