"Where is our Churchill?"

In this American Thinker article by J.Peter Mulhern, he makes some excellent points. For instance, "Our leaders speak as if they can avoid responsibility for the next attack by predicting it. They don't seem aware that a grieving and enraged public isn't likely to get much satisfaction from a chorus of 'I told you so.'" I personally don't think the public IS enraged about terrorism here. It's as if the September 11 attacks have been forgotten. But I agree 100% with this statement: "Nobody who matters has been willing to identify the people we need to fight, describe their motivations accurately and explain how we can defeat them " Instead, the kowtowing to Muslims continues, as well as the fear of offending them. How can you defeat the enemy this way? He concludes: "If we wake up one morning to find that one of our great cities is a smoking ruin or that our children are dying by the million from some mysterious disease, the odds are that America's contempt for its leaders of both parties will know no bounds.What then? Something similar happened to Britain at the outset of World War II when the people woke up to discover that their leaders had blundered into a war which they were utterly unprepared to fight. Most of Britain's leaders were thoroughly discredited by the events leading up to the war, but there was one important exception. Winston Churchill had spent a decade warning that war was coming and urging his country to head it off or, failing that, to be ready. When war came, he was the logical person to lead the government.Where is our Churchill?" http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/01/will_the_next_attack_get_our_a.html
