A compassionate President tours the States to give his people succour!

Good morning --

On Sunday, I was in Moore, Oklahoma. Today, I'm headed to the Jersey Shore. Those two communities are separated by half a continent but united by a common sense of purpose. Like Joplin, Tuscaloosa, and New Orleans, they are home to people who've seen nature at its worst and humanity at its best. And they're filled with those who have made the choice to rebuild after disaster, to come back stronger than ever.

Why we need Counter Terrorism more than ever

The terrorist attacks in Boston and the terrible murder of Drummer, Lee Rigby, on the streets of Woolwich should serve as a sharp reminder to us all that terrorism has not gone away.

The Western world is likely to suffer from the threat of terrorism for many years to come and we can be certain the threat will evolve. I remember very well back in 2005, we were stressing this would be a generational struggle. Eight years later, and even after the degradation of Al Qaeda as an effective organisation, terrorism still remains a major issue for society.
