Even more troubling, however, is that the killing of this magnitude has become business as usual, especially on the campaign trail. While Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Sen. John S. McCain (R-Ariz.) trumpet this bipartisan massacre--claiming that this places foreign policy "above politics"--their complacency abdicates the opposition party's duty to provide the nation with a choice.

In this era of readily available and highly destructive weaponry, this is the only true path to a secure future. And the only way to ensure that the U.S. remains respected, not only for our economic and military power, but also for the power of our example and our ideals...
