Terrorists on the run can't unite

To the editor:

I think it is safe to say that any American with good sense is happy that international terrorists are on the run in places like Afghanistan and Iraq rather than running loose and causing havoc here on the home front. Because they are dispersed abroad with Special Forces units hot on their trail, they are not in position to unite their resources in our midst here in the homeland. Let's give credit where credit is due and blame George Bush, Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld for keeping the homeland free of murder-minded terrorists so the voters can go forth in November and keep our public offices free of feeble-minded liberals.
