I come to you–in the midst a great global conflict against evil–with a simple message: “Be Not Afraid.”
I do not say this as a foreigner, cavalier in my estimation of the dangers that surround you.
Instead, I say it as an ally, in spite of the terrifying predators who threaten all free nations, especially Israel.
My country is not ignorant, nor are we indifferent to your struggle.
We know our victory in the war on terror depends on Israel’s survival.
And we know Israel’s survival depends on the willingness of free nations–especially our own–to stand by all endangered democracies in their time of need.
We hear your voice cry out in the desert, and we will never leave your side.
Because freedom and terrorism cannot coexist.
Terrorism cannot be negotiated away or pacified.
Terrorism will either destroy free nations, or free nations will destroy it.
Freedom and terrorism will struggle–good and evil–until the battle is
resolved.
These are the terms Providence has put before the United States, Israel, and
the rest of the civilized world.
They are stark, and they are final.

More to come…
