• Clear and Present Danger

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich may be the most notable public figure in some time to state the obvious: radical Islam is a to America. In a speech last week at The American Enterprise Institute in Washington, Gingrich said, "this is not a war on terrorism ... this is a struggle with radical Islamists." The problem, he said, is that too many leaders are "sleepwalking" and won't face the threat.

• The Muslim Brotherhood Is the Enemy ; Islamic Group Poses a Clear and Present Danger to Us in the Middle East

As Egypt lurches toward the end of President Hosni Mubarak's regime, one way or another - by "an orderly transition to democratic rule" (as Hillary Rodham Clinton delicately puts it), through violent overthrow or simply through the demise of the ailing 82- year-old president - much is unclear. One thing that should not be is that the Muslim Brotherhood is our enemy, and whatever role it plays in Egypt's future will be to our detriment. Such clarity is readily available because the Brotherhood (MB or, in Arabic, Ikhwan) has told us as much. Consider, for example, the mission statement for the MB found in one of its secret documents, titled "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America.

• President's Challenge ; Today's Clear and Present Danger

How do governments predict and then respond to prevent crisis? The answer is they usually don't. The current financial and economic calamities are classic cases in point. Despite warnings of clear and present danger, nothing happened beforehand. There are good and bad reasons why governments are invariably caught short and surprised by crises. No one has a working crystal ball. It takes courage to bring a leader bad news. Denial, as with LBJ and Vietnam and President Bush with Iraq until late 2006, pervades White Houses. And those who cry wolf are usually dismissed as obsessively pessimistic or simply out of touch with reality. Consider economists who have been rightly accused of predicting hundreds of the last five real recessions.

• Iraq - 'Clear and Present Danger' to National Security

Geoff Metcalf in his NewsMax.com article, "Partisanship Hurts National Security", states "The reasons for our Iraq situation are, at this point, best left to historians to pick at the nits. All I could say was "WOW". After I exhaled, I continued to read his email. "Here is the deal with Iraq, we have to look at this strategically; we cannot afford to allow terrorism to capitalize on creating sanctuary anywhere." There were years of planning from Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, starting with "Black Hawk Down" in Somalia in 1992, continuing with the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, the USS Cole in 2000, and finally on 9/11/2001 when the Jihadists made Manhattan "the largest crime scene in history."

• Cyberterror Is a Clear and Present Danger

Your Oct. 1 editorial "Beware the cyberscare" dismissing Sen. Joe Lieberman's efforts to protect our most critical infrastructure from cyber-attack as nothing but scare tactics is misinformed. The threat of cyber-attack from a foreign country, a terrorist group or malevolent hackers is real. Last year, multiple U.S. corporations were the targets of industrial espionage through cyberspace. Before that, the governments of Estonia and Georgia were partially paralyzed by massive denial-of-service attacks. Recently, the Department of Defense acknowledged that some of its systems were compromised by a foreign intelligence service.
