U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein says now is the time for “vigilance” after the massacre at the offices of a Paris satirical magazine.<\/p>\n

Well, what do you know? The former head of the Senate Intelligence Committee is demonstrating an impressive command of the obvious.<\/p>\n

Feinstein, a California Democrat, is trying to alert Americans to the possibility of a “major” terrorist attack on U.S. soil. I would argue that we’ve been on high alert ever since 9\/11. And we should<\/em> be on alert, possibly for as long as terrorists exist in the world.<\/p>\n

The shootout at the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris has stunned the world. Twelve people died in the melee. Three of the assassins were killed by French commandos; a fourth remains on the lam.<\/p>\n

The Paris mayhem has brought to the fore once again that terrorists will do whatever it takes to strike fear in the world. We’ve known this all along, even before 9\/11.<\/p>\n

But we let our guard down and on that Tuesday morning 13 years ago we paid a terrible price.<\/p>\n

I appreciate Sen. Feinstein’s word of extreme caution.<\/p>\n

However, I hope she’s preaching to the proverbial choir.\u00a0 We damn sure\u00a0ought to be on high alert already.<\/p>\n\n
