Dark Hour in Capitol as British Ransack War Weary Nation
The piece recalls the 1814 burning of the Capitol by Cockburn and British forces, compares it to recent covert bombings in 21 U.S. cities, and urges swift justice against unknown terrorists. It decries lawlessness, praises vigilance of citizens, and calls for stronger courts and duty to protect the American way of life. It cites Jefferson’s library destruction, the White House fire, and a plea for unity and retribution.
