It has only taken six years, but a politician has finally figured it out.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, unlike his Republican colleague President Bush refuses to let the terrorists win. Bloomberg was asked Monday about the possibility of terrorists at JFK airport in New York. Bloomberg responded,

There are lots of threats to you in the world. There’s the threat of a heart attack for genetic reasons. You can’t sit there and worry about everything. Get a life.

Bush and a handful of Republicans have used the threat of terrorists to change national laws and limit individual rights since the attacks of 9/11. By doing so, the terrorists have been winning by shaping the agenda of our country. It’s about time a major politician steps up against and really fights terrorism.
