Early in 2002, just a few months after the 9/11 attacks, I heard Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deliver a message to the USA in a speech at a conference in Miami, Florida. He said that America needed to realize two things about terrorism and terrorists.
First, the fight against terrorism will last a long time. And second, the terrorists want to kill all of us, namely, the people of Israel, the people of the USA, and any other nations that do not conform to their radical Islamic extremism.
