4 million dead
That's how many Americans Al Qaeda wants to kill. That's why we should head Mr. Marshall's advice:
In our democracy, the pundits, the public, and the politicians will focus on the arguments and issues that concern them at the moment; our electoral process will always have its own seasons and rhythms. But in the midst of a war, the search for political advantage needs always to be sobered by the realization that we live under the threat of mass murder. We have active enemies who state emphatically that they will gladly die in order to kill millions of us and, explicitly, two million children. If our politicians and pundits fail to remind us of this fact, we must remind them. We need to keep this reality in sharp focus as we prepare to exercise our democratic rights in November.
