H F00eaders' 00ournal: Forgotten attacks Editor, The Journal: How soon we forget! Remember when the Arabs struck the World Trade Center in New York City in the 1990s? And the two WTC tow- ers in 2001? Our President has not forgotten. Neither has he forgotten that the Arabs are infiltrating this country. Do you know that there is an Arab mosque just outside of Olympia? You who are so quick to condemn those who are spending their pre- cious time and energy to protect us from the terrors of war on our own soil should spend a little time in prayer that our leaders will con- tinue to look to our Lord and God fbr wisdom.
