As anticipated, it is the deafening silence of Muslim leaders, everywhere, condemning the resort to violence by the Boston Marathon Bombers that speaks volumes.
It is also the lightning speed and professionalism of our police forces that speaks volumes about the benefits of freedom and the rule of law. Yes, there are problems, but the fact that we hear about them, and they are addressed, is an essential part of remaining unfettered by domestic tyranny and is a testament that the system works. No country is perfect, but those that adhere and respect the law, and host a critical mass of law-abiding citizens, are forever moving toward that unattainable goal of perfection, instead of spiraling away from it like so many failed states.
