Our enemies meant what they said

By Jeff Jacoby, Globe Staff, 9/13/2001

NOW THAT IT has happened to us, the White House is not
calling for ''restraint.'' The State Department is not
concerned about ''escalating the cycle of violence.'' There are
no editorials imploring the parties to conduct a ''peace
process'' and ''sit down at the negotiating table.''

.........................
To be fair, those enemies have not been shy about declaring
their enmity. Time and again they have announced that they
despise us; time and again they have called for our destruction.

They have announced it from the mosques of Gaza, as
broadcast live by the Palestinian Authority: ''Wherever you
are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them -
and those who stand by them. They are all in one trench against
the Arabs and the Muslims.''

They have proclaimed it a religious duty, as in the fatwa of
Osama bin Laden, publicized worldwide in February 1998:
''To kill the Americans and their allies, civilians, and military
is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any
country in which it is possible to do it.''
