As the U.S. girds for war in the Middle East, the government has prepared National Guardsmen here for the worst by reminding the mostly part-time soldiers to get their wills, life insurance and other affairs in order.
The notice, emailed Friday in the form of an internal memo, also recommended guardsmen start wearing their dog tags in case they are called to respond to more terrorist attacks in the U.S. |

Armed guards may be almost as much a part of air travel as pilots and flight attendants as the government rushes to get hundreds of new marshals on board airliners.
Hundreds of other marshals are being recruited, many of them retired law enforcement officials. Some private security firms, whose employees serve as air marshals for foreign airlines, are being asked for help as well. |

While the U.S. Justice Department seeks new surveillance power to track down terrorists, some conservatives are casting a skeptical eye on what they see as an erosion of civil liberties.
"Before we begin dismantling constitutionally protected safeguards and diminishing fundamental rights to privacy, we should first examine why last week's attacks occurred," said Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.), a senior Member of the Judiciary Committee. |

"Frenzied anti-self-defense zealots hailed his book as proof that colonial Americans owned few guns and that the idea of a nation of well-armed citizens was a myth, and he won a prestigious award for his rooting out the truth about guns in early America. But new research indicates that in many instances historian Michael A. Bellesiles simply twisted the facts to fit his own agenda ..." |

It was September 14. Washington, DC, had been attacked, and one of its most prominent monuments had been burned by the enemy. A Washington lawyer sat in the early morning gloom and fretted over the fate of his country.
The year was 1814, the burned monument was the White House, the man was Francis Scott Key, and his worry was centered on Fort McHenry....
The first stanza expressed Key's anxious concern for his country. The second expressed his elation as he saw the banner rise. He saw the death of the enemy as proof of justice. Thus, his third stanza.... |

"The key here is to crack down. I think people are going to have to recognize that some of their conveniences are going to be gone," Bono said. "Whether we are talking about national ID cards I don�t know, or fingerprinting of everybody, I don�t know where we are going to go with security. I�m glad to show my identification where I need to go." --State Rep. Mary Bono (R-PalmSprings) |

Don't arm "just" because of attack.
KABA NOTE: She goes on to say, "We are also extremely disturbed and saddened by recent fatal shootings and other incidents of gun violence directed at individuals of Middle Eastern descent or appearance around the country. In this highly emotional time, Americans must resist in engaging in the same hatred and ignorance that fostered the unspeakable acts of September 11." |

Operation Restore Warrior Spirit is intended to disabuse you of the cancer of political correctness. America is the land of the free and home of the brave. At least it used to be and can be again.
In the movie "Rob Roy" there is a wonderful scene in which the hero is asked by his sons, "What is honor?" Rob responds, "Honor is something no one can give you � and no one can take away. It is a man's gift to himself." |

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. � Ronald Reagan |
