Quote of the week

The American people are understandably fearful about another attack like the one we sustained on Sept. 11, 2001. But it is the duty of the commander in chief to lead the country away from the grip of fear, not into its grasp.

Charles C. Krulak (commandant of the Marine Corps, 1995-1999) and
Joseph P. Hoar (commander in chief of U.S. Central Command, 1991-1994)
