So are Muslims from Dagestan,<br \/>\nAlbania, and Bosnia. Much has been made in the press about the more Caucasian look<br \/>\nof the Tsarnaev brothers. But what sets the radicalized segments of these ethnic<br \/>\ngroups apart from their Middle Eastern counterparts, is not so much the racial<br \/>\naspects of their ethnicities, but the way they fight. <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>While most are more than willing to fight to<br \/>\nthe death to avoid capture, and will kill you in a heartbeat, they are not so<br \/>\nwilling to die easily. <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>They don\u2019t like to<br \/>\nwaste their hard earned Jihadi talents by blowing themselves up in the middle<br \/>\nof a random crowd. They prefer to inflict maximum harm on the \u201cKafirs\u201d<br \/>\n(infidels) and to live to do it again and again.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>They work very hard to ensure they live to kill<br \/>\nmore on another day.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Most <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>American<br \/>\nSoldiers who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan recognize the Chechen Jihadis as<br \/>\nthe most <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>dangerous fighters of all the<br \/>\nenemies we faced there. They were the toughest, most disciplined, and brutal. One<br \/>\nonly has to do an internet search for and watch the video of the execution<br \/>\nof an unknown Russian soldier, <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>or look<br \/>\nat the pictures of the Beslan School massacre to come face to face with the<br \/>\nreality of how profanely brutal they can be. <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span><a style=\"mso-footnote-id:ftn1\" href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\" title=\"\"><span class=\"MsoFootnoteReference\"><span style=\"mso-special-character:footnote\"><span class=\"MsoFootnoteReference\"><span style=\"font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;\nmso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:\nminor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;\nmso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:\nEN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA\">[1]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">There is much discussion about how the United States should<br \/>\ndeal with the dynamics of the \u201cnew\u201d terrorism threat the Boston Marathon bombing heralds. While there is a key role for the federal, state, and local<br \/>\nlaw enforcement, as well as the intelligence communities to play, the reality<br \/>\nis they cannot be everywhere at once. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I will never forget the feeling of vulnerability I had for<br \/>\nthe thousands upon thousands of people stuck in the forty mile long parking lot<br \/>\nthat had been I-95\/ I-395, as I rode my motorcycle up the break-down lane on my<br \/>\nway back into the Pentagon in the early morning hours<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\"> <\/span>of September 12, 2001. <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>I had visions of multiple shooters conducting armed<br \/>\nattacks against the many unarmed commuters who were stationary targets in their<br \/>\nvehicles on that morning and the week that followed. <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>My fear was based on the attack just 20 miles<br \/>\naway and nine years earlier by Pakistani Muslim, Mir Qazi, at Langley, Virginia.<br \/>\nMr Qazi murdered<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>two and wounded three other<br \/>\nCIA employees as they sat in their cars&nbsp;<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\"><\/span>at a traffic light . <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Since 9\/11, we have seen the attacks against tourists in<br \/>\nMumbai, <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>school children in Beslan,<br \/>\napartment dwellers in Moscow, train passengers in Spain, commuters in London, car bomb<br \/>\nattacks in Mexico near the US border, and one Muslim Army Doctor who turned on<br \/>\nhis fellow Soldiers at Ft Hood. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The Boston Marathon bombing occurred at time and place where<br \/>\nthere were many police agencies and emergency medical personnel present. They<br \/>\nquickly secured the scene and treated the wounded after the attack. It was the<br \/>\nbrave and well executed efforts of those personnel which ensured everyone who<br \/>\nmade it to the hospital alive, survived &#8211; an unprecedented emergency medical<br \/>\naccomplishment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">But the attack also demonstrated that law enforcement cannot<br \/>\nfully reduce all vulnerabilities to terrorism at large public venues. The<br \/>\nbombing <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>was only a \u201csimple\u201d attack with several<br \/>\nbombs. What if it had been a complex attack followed up by shooters or successfully synchronized<br \/>\nsecondary devices timed to go off in the immediate vicinity as the first responders<br \/>\nrushed to aid the wounded? <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In other venues, <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>imagine<br \/>\nif Adam Landza or James Holmes had been accompanied by additional Jihadis when<br \/>\nthey shot up their school and movie theater. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In spite of the great efforts on the part of non-politically<br \/>\nappointed career law enforcement and intelligence officials, our federal and<br \/>\nlocal efforts to protect the American people from harm are limited. They are greatly<br \/>\nhampered and undercut by the corruption, incompetence, and political &#8220;divide and<br \/>\nconquer&#8221; mentality of the Obama Administration \u2013 an Administration more concerned<br \/>\nwith the sexuality of a professional basketball player and the \u201cradicalism\u201d of<br \/>\nthe TEA Party, than with the protection of our borders and citizens from the<br \/>\nvery real Islamist threats. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>It is not a question<br \/>\nof \u201cif?\u201d but \u201cwhen?\u201d the next attack will occur. It will be at a time and place<br \/>\nwhere any number of vulnerabilities exist, and quite likely without a<br \/>\nsignificant armed police presence and a multitude of emergency medical<br \/>\npersonnel on hand. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">As Americans, we need to be prepared to defend ourselves, our<br \/>\nloved ones, and our neighbors from attacks. There is no substitute for the response<br \/>\ntime of an armed, concealed carrying citizen to shooting incidents.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>One armed citizen can make all the difference<br \/>\nin the world, as Charl van Wyk did with a .38 revolver when he put a stop to an<br \/>\nattack by four terrorists armed with grenades and automatic weapons in the 1993<br \/>\nSt James Church massacre in South Africa.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span>If you cannot carry concealed, the availability of a securely stored rifle,<br \/>\nhandgun, or shotgun, accessible in 30 to 90 seconds from a vehicle or office, <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>is infinitely better than no weapons at all. <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">We also need to be prepared to perform first aid until the<br \/>\narrival of trained medical personnel. <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span>Even<br \/>\nthe most ardent pacifists can be convinced to be prepared to save a life by clearing<br \/>\nan airway, stopping arterial bleeding with a pressure bandage or tourniquet,<br \/>\nand stabilizing the c-spine following an attack. <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">America, we do not need to be paranoid. We need to be aware<br \/>\nand prepared. Any high-visibility public event can be a target of terrorists.<br \/>\nWe need to meet this reality head-on. <span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div
