War on Terror.

There's an excellent editorial in Investors' Business Daily. Here's the chilling end:

After so many decapitations — of Westerners and insufficiently fanatical Muslims — and bombings targeting children, we should have a grasp of how evil the enemy bent on destroying us is.

In case we don't, former Green Beret and independent journalist Michael Yon recently provided a blood-curdling reminder, relayed to him by an Iraqi official describing al-Qaida's takeover of a city northeast of Baghdad:

"On a couple of occasions in Baqubah, al-Qaida invited to lunch families they wanted to convert to their way of thinking. In each instance, the family had a boy, he said, who was about 11 years old . . . at these luncheons, the families were sat down to eat.

"And then their boy was brought in with his mouth stuffed. The boy had been baked. Al-Qaida served the boy to his family."

As the president [Bush] has said many times, "It's important to defeat the enemy overseas so we do not have to face them here at home." Here at home — where they will murder us, and our children, in those same savage ways.
