The country did not rise to the occasion, and our enemies know that we fought them on the cheap.

They know that we did not, would not, and will not tolerate the disruption of our normal way of life.
They know that they did not seize our full attention. They know that we have hardly stirred. And as long as they have these things to know, they will neither stand down nor shrink back, and, for us, the sorrows that will come will be greater than the sorrows that have been.

Your Say

If you kill someone that is brain dead is it still considered murder?

Or simply culling of the herd?

"Who made him dead to rapture and despair
a thing that grieves not and that never hopes ...
Whose breath blew out the light within this brain?
...
And how will it be with kingdoms and with kings --
With those who shaped him to the thing he is --
When this dumb Terror shall rise to judge the world?"

The Man With the Hoe, Edwin Markham

To eradicate a devilish idea you must prove its falsity to its adherents.
