The bad guys are winning

Just read this AP report. I hate it when I see things like this happening. This is basically the whole point of terrorist activity. They want to disrupt our lives and scare us. I realize radical Islam really wants to eradicate Israel and the US but they are achieving the goal of most other terrorists along the way. These are things we need to consider when we elect leadership in our country.

I for one, am not willing to back down and cancel anything because of a terrorist threat. This is just a real shame. If the host countries for this event really wanted to fight the war against terror, they would allow the event to take place and provide military security for these folks. That would send a very strong message to these bullies!


The annual Dakar Rally was canceled Friday on the eve of the race because of terror threats and the recent slaying of a French family in Mauritania that was blamed on al-Qaida-linked militants.
[Competitors stand near their...]

Competitors stand near their cars as the organizers, ASO (Amaury Sport Organization) decided to cancel the Dakar Rally on the eve of the race in Lisbon, Portugal, Friday.

It was the first time in the 30-year history of the automobile, motorbike and truck race across the Sahara Desert that it has been called off.

In a statement, organizers blamed international tensions, the tourists' Dec. 24 murders and "threats launched directly against the race by terrorist organizations."

"No other decision but the cancellation of the sporting event could be taken," they said.

France, where the race organizers are based, had urged the rally to avoid Mauritania after the slaying of the four family members in an attack blamed on a terror cell that uses the Mauritanian desert as a hideout.

Yeah. So true. The World should not be taken hostage for every single thing . If we continue to allow this to be done guess who has won? We must stand up to the pressure and not buckle under.

Good post bro, Lisa
