A commenter in an article by Mark Mardell at BBC stated the following, regarding the withering fire that President Obama has been taking from former VP Dick Cheney concerning the President's supposed lack of being frightened enough by the terrorists. You know, the terrorists that seem to have caused Mr. Cheney to start wearing Depends in case of emergency:
A democracy is strong when terrorism does not change it, is strong when people go on with their lives whatever it takes, is strong when people look at the faces of the terrorist and say "You can scare me, you can even kill me, but you won't scare my country, my history, my democracy. And my sons will live in the same country I lived, with the same conditions, no matter whether you are around or not."
Mr. Obama is the real strength of the USA. Mr Cheney is only a shaking coward.
By George, I think he's got it!

That really is the crux of the biscuit, isn't it? What more need be said to bring home the reality of how the rational grown up's in our country view the entire situation vs. how the irrational and cowardly chicken-hawks have reacted since day 1 of terrorist attacks against American interests and citizens?
BTW, Dick? Rudy? Republicans? Listen up, here. There have been many attacks by foreign countries and foreign groups and individuals as well as attacks by home grown groups and individuals on American interests and citizens before September, 2001. I could spell them all out, but a quick search of The Google by all of you regarding this subject would save a lot of time and effort on my part, and YOU might learn something. Bottom line, cowards? We grieved our losses and managed to move on each time, never burying our heads in the sand and never giving in to fear.
We will continue to do so. Whether you are around or not.
