While there is much applause as if to suggest we dodged a terror attack just as there were similar sentiments after the underwear bomber failed to down an airliner over Detroit, let's put things in proper perspective. Just as the Christmas Day experience, an explosive device intended to cause massive homicides were in place ready to explode and were it not for the incompetence of terrorist or faulty construction of the device. To the extent that terrorists were positioned poised to strike is a partly successful mission as these events have shown us just how vulnerable we are.

This is no time for smugness. Our nation is under attack. It remains to be seen who was behind the Times Square May Day attack and what his motivation and/or affiliation might be, but we know we have radical Islam sworn to kill us. There are other groups waiting their turn, and there's always the possibly of the "lone wolf" who has an agenda perhaps only he can understand.

Some day soon, we won't be so lucky. We must have firm resolve to do everything to keep that day from happening and that anyone involved in any way to plan or executive such an attack must find his status as a living breathing creature is subject to immediate permanent termination.

This is dead serious. We must see it as such and be prepared. Anything less is copping out.
