IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!

Today's big hit at the box office is the movie Ironman 2. Peggy Noonan writes today in the Wall Street Journal about an "Iron Lady," Britain's Margaret Thatcher. Peggy wonders if David Cameron will be anything like her. Most historians give her, Ronald Reagan, and Pope John Paul credit for ending the Cold War and preserving our freedom. Her indomitable spirit and undying determination to stand up to the Soviets and the terrorists in the IRA should be inspirational to us all. In New York apparently there are signs on buses and trains that say IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING! That has certainly proven to be prescient, considering the role of ordinary citizens in catching the Incompetent Bomber of Times Square.

years ago like in the 80s I thought about writing a fiction novel about ordinary people who saved lives just by paying attention...even more true today.
