Are we there yet? Have we not, at long last, had enough? Must we continue playing Russian roulette with the murderous intentions of international terrorists until they succeed in killing another large number of American civilians?

The world's terrorists are not going away, and neither are the rogue states/regimes who sponsor them. Murder and mayhem is their agenda, by which means they keep their varied specific goals alive, so to speak. It should be obvious to every sane American that the only way to defeat these murderers is to confront them the way our Founding Fathers would have done, in accordance with the Constitution.

Instead of dealing with every instance of terrorism the way we have been doing, on a case by case basis, we should declare, once and for all, that every act of terror is an individual battle of a Congressionally declared War on Terror. Let us do it by the book, but let us resolve to do a thorough job of it. We must streamline the process by which means an all out war should be prosecuted. Let us declare a priori that every means at our disposal is on that damn table, and let us feed these bloodthirsty murderers shock, awe, and lead.
