Golden Oldie

Fighting terrorism is like being a goalkeeper.
You can make a hundred brilliant saves but the only
shot that people remember is the one that gets past you.

- Paul Wilkinson (b. 1937), British
scholar, author on terrorism.
Daily Telegraph (London, Sept. 1, 1992).

Thanks to our leadership and especially to all those behind the scenes
for the seven years without another incident on our shores when everyone
was expecting many more in the aftermath of 09/11/2001. tftd
