I just read President Obama's speech. I don't think we're dealing with with the America of Cooper or Wayne. Thank God. President Obama is much more thoughtful and much less cowboy than either of those people were in the movies.

The man got through security and could have easily killed 300 Americans. President Obama was making a speech about how he was going to protect us from that happening again. Whether you like it or not we are at war with Al Qaeda. Even if the root cause is US imperialism we can't put that genie back in the bottle a day or two.

President Obama has taken responsibility for the mistakes that were made. He has told us how the will be avoided in future. I don't see how he could do any more. I am proud and happy that I supported him in his election campaigns.
