democrats should use this tag line as their closing at every single public appearance, talk show, press conference, speech, etc., just the way republicans end everything with 'god bless the united states of america'.

it evokes the 20th century's greatest president, an actual, aham, WARTIME president, and completely neutralizes bush's rhetoric.

if pearl harbor led to a president insisting we should not fear, then why should we fear from 9/11? pearl harbor meant war against powerful nations and economies who could and did deliver on the threat to kill far, far more than al qaeda could ever dream of killing.
