Random statement on the War on Terror

Every once in a while I piece together a couple of sentences that I really like, but which I don't have greater context to use it in, so I save it in a Moleskine for possible future use. This one really pokes at me though. I really, really like it, so I'm going to post it as a stand alone statement. My only problem is that I like it so much, it feels like somebody else has alrady written or said it. Here it is:

We’ve been given a choice in America. We can either let our modern Mongol Invaders gather at the gates to our shining city on a hill and battle them within, or we can choose to meet them on a faraway plain where our sisters, mothers, wives, children may be safe from the battle.
