the ground beneath has shifted :: we will defeat you!

“We will not apologize for our way of life,
nor will we waver in its defense,

& for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents,
we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken;
you cannot outlast us, and

we will defeat you!”

—Mr. Obama, Pres. USA.
(Inauguration speech, 20 Jan 2009)
