"It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it."

Thomas Jefferson

This quote is fairly close to the one I was thinking of----the one I am vaguely remembering goes something like this----------We are peace loving however if our shores be threatened by foreign entities we must respond in kind.

Did the terrorist really think that America would not respond?

Thanks for all of the links---------Jefferson had his books and we have our internet.
