We must be watchful

This morning’s headline of, Bomb-making equipment found in Britain immediately caught my undivided attention. When the news from England was initially released, many individuals were questioning the validity of the bomb plot to destroy the airlines

This quote from the story puts it all into perspective,

"Since the 10th of August, we have found bomb-making equipment. There are chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide, electrical components, documents and other items," Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke said. "We have also found a number of video recordings — these are sometimes referred to as martyrdom videos.

We are not safe from any source, foreign or domestic and the sooner our countrymen and women awaken to that fact the sooner we will begin working together. There are outside sources whose sole purpose is to effectively destroy our way of life, pure and simple. They are not interested in attacking neither our military institutions nor our standing military. What they wish to destroy is our soul, our fabric of being, what makes America a democracy and they are not going to allow setbacks such as the one in England to stop them.

Their planning and operations is far more in depth then this one incident, if in fact, his incident was truly a plot underwritten by al Qaeda remains to be seen, but I do have reservations. I feel this plot may be related, but not sanctioned by them and simply lone individuals bent on destruction.

We have so many individuals who feel these incidents do not effect them and they go about their daily lives with little or no concept of fear of additional attacks. When in truth yes, there will be more, there will be additional attempts and they will try as hard as they can to attack our county. We must be ever watchful and guarded at all times if we wish to prevail.
