Point of minor correction. They ATTACKED it....they did not CONQUER it because they do not own it, have not taken that ground from us, and their government does not control it. RE below, they have not taken our hearts, nor our land, nor our possessions. IF we take away religious freedom because of what they did, then they have "Taken away our hearts", and so conquer would fit. We can only be the loser in this, if we chose to do so.
