Every soldier in our military takes a solemn oath to protect our nation
against attacks, foreign and domestic. Nov. 5, 2009, will be remembered
as a day when, sadly, our military was forced to protect our nation
from a domestic attack. As we mourn the passing of 13 of our departed,
we celebrate the soldiers and civilians who took action to resolve this
crisis.
[The assumption] that the accused gunman's intentions have been tied to his faith is
disappointing. It would be a dire mistake to believe his motivation had
anything to do with the teachings of Islam. Just as Timothy J. McVeigh
had nothing to do with Christianity, so does Nidal Malik Hasan have
nothing to do with Islam.
Rather than pointing the finger at any religion for the actions of a
disturbed individual, I prefer to take the moment and sincerely thank
those heroes of Fort Hood who readily put their lives in harm's way so
that I and my children can live in safety.
