Beyond The News -- A Daily Commentary From Salem Communications September 10, 2004
America's Stark Choice --Hugh Hewitt The massacre of innocents in Beslan, Russia has provided the most gruesome reminder possible that the Islamist terrorists draw no distinction between combatants and civilians, even tiny children. Right now, the death toll is over 350, with over 500 hospitalized--and about half of the dead are school-aged children. This is the most devastating act of terrorism since 9/11--and it happens as we approach the 3rd anniversary of that dreadful day. The brutality of these evil men should not surprise us. 9/11 and the subsequent bombings and the beheadings should have shattered any illusions about these murderers. Also shattered should be the idea that the United States can choose not to be involved in the war against terrorism and the Islamist fanatics perpetrating it today. We have no choice: Seek out and kill the terrorists or wait for them to come to our cities and seize our schools and kill our children. This is the stark choice before America, in the election and every day for the foreseeable future. It is crucial to keep that choice always at the front of every conversation. Hugh Hewitt is the host of the Hugh Hewitt Show. (http://www.hughhewitt.com) Read Hugh's column at The Weekly Standard.
