This is not Vietnam.
This is NOT Vietnam.
This is not political.
This is scary…
9-11 saw a blatant, long-planned, well-funded, coordinated, multiple
attack against Americans on American soil, murdering some 3,000
Americans right in the middle of New York City; the Pentagon in
Virginia; another was evidently targeted against our capital in
Washington, DC (flight 93).
3,000 civilians killed in about two hours’ time. Pearl Harbor saw
about 3,000 soldiers and sailors killed in about that same time frame.
Yes: look it up. Many other murders have been carried out
specifically against American civilians in foreign locales as well,
and by the same players.
19 people, part of a group of fanatical religious conquerors, came to
America, into our home – to murder Americans in reprisal for our
interference in their attempt at world domination and for not being
part of their religion. Killing Americans in America. Hunting
people. With bombs. Our own fanatics don’t even let people do that
to deer. 3,000 American people – men, women, and children: murdered.
Us. Here. No, this is not Vietnam at all.
What happened in New York was not a military action against a military
target – they specifically targeted American civilians and killed them
in cold blood. That’s their style. Many hundreds of American soldiers
have also been murdered in American bases in foreign countries – all
before 9-11. I call it murder because that’s what you call killing sleeping soldiers in an undeclared war. They also kill and brutalize their own countrymen (and, most especially, women and children) on an hourly basis. It’s bad. Really bad.
They have openly sworn to do it again and again until they get their
way. Unfortunately, their ultimate “way” is to kill civilians. They
will do it right here if they can.
Don’t forget that – it’s important.
If this attack had come from a real, geographically based, traditional
country, it would have resulted in an immediate declaration of
full-scale war… invasion, draft & everything.
As it was, this came from today’s most nefarious entity – terrorists -
funded by billions of dollars – privately and via secret
state-supported funds… ironically from countries who have literally
become insanely rich from the money we pour into oil purchases (read
Saudi Arabia, home of Osama Bin Laden, et al). They operate
independently of legitimate governments and often work to replace them
with their religious rule. They have very few declared geo-political
bases of operation and have learned to hide the identity and location
of their officers and supporters very carefully. Much like other
criminals who hide after committing crimes (yes, people who murder
and enslave people are criminals). They are well organized. They
target Americans. Organized criminals openly attacking American
cities. We have to stop that. In order to stop them, we have to find
them. They openly operate out of Afghanistan, they train in
Afghanistan; for a while, they owned Afghanistan – there is no doubt
about that. (I don’t really know about Iraq. I don’t think most
anyone else does either – it’s the nature of the beast.) They throw
bombs into crowds. They are cowards, stabbing from the shadows and
hiding.
In the world these people want to create, all people of other faiths would be automatically destined for death or slavery, as would his family and anyone who associated with him or
defended, harbored, or fed him.
All other religions, it’s followers and adherents put to death, maybe by public
torture – making a fitting example of how heretics and infidels are
dealt with. Slavery would be the only other choice.
Our government could handle this problem (a LOT) better, if the liberal groveler’s
would shut up or put up (a better idea). I absolutely loathe the unspeakable horror or war, but we had to take some action, fast and hard, to prevent future attacks.
The liberal way of talking and acting at arm’s length had been tried for decades and it
obviously didn’t work – the proof is in the people-pudding in the basement of the World Trade Center. So “the war” has at least has succeeded in this one aspect – there have been no more attacks on American soil. Yet.
Do I hear an “I oppose that” from anyone?
It’s obvious even to a political neophyte like me that Islam
is the type that engage in naked aggression and will not stop their
attempts to literally rule the world unless they are forced to. They
tell us that themselves, openly.
It is their religious and political duty, their reason for being – the reason they exist – it’s what they do. They take over countries and subjugate populations.
Remember that the terrorists’ premise for all this is that they worship “the
only true God”, and that “God” commands them to convert or kill every
infidel in the world, no matter who, no matter where. That’s not just
talk – they’re working hard to accomplish that goal. Give them their
way and the burning times of the inquisition will look like a Saturday morning cartoon,
Hitler’s Final Solution will look like a hobby, and the purges of
Stalin and Pol Pot will look like a “B” movie. These people see
anyone who doesn’t follow their strict ways, strictly, as an undeniable butcher’s history.
We’re talking rabid dog – We’re talking global genocide. We are a
target of that genocide. That’s not my opinion – that’s what they
themselves tell us their “God” has told them to do.
I believe it’s dangerous and foolish to begin to lump a whole culture into a derogatory commonality (“Ragheads”) , but let’s face it – it’s an established fact that these
people are exclusively Islamic. No member of their “inner circle” is otherwise…
you are born Islamic and are a devout Islamic-fanatic or you are simply not included. You are, by definition, an infidel. Fanatics are like that. They brainwash and train poor, ignorant children (their own) to build and carry bombs (a particularly brutal and cowardly device) into civilian targets and blow up civilians along with themselves; all in
the name of “God”, in order to get into “Heaven”. At least Hitler and
Stalin and Pol Pot openly said “do it or we’ll kill you”. This is evil on so many levels.
As they dominate an area, they proceed to kill anyone they think
opposes their point of view in the slightest way, stop actual
education in favor of religious indoctrination, generally -terrorize-
the remaining population (thus the name), treat women like property -
depriving them of any human rights whatsoever (read up on the
Pakistani rape laws, for a mild example), and use that area and its
people as a base of operations for their next aggression. Very much
like the Hitlers and Stalins and Pol Pots we have already seen, but
with much better propaganda and an unmatched zeal that can come only
from a religious foundation. Add to that a no return address and you’ve
got a truly potent package. When they don’t dominate an area, they
sow the seeds of disruption, plant bombs, kidnap and murder those who
oppose their insurgence.
This is an import; to destabilize the government and population in the area and weaken it’s resistance to takeover. Surviving populations do not thrive under their rule. We
are looking at the Unibomber on a massive scale. The areas they
dominate exist in a medieval-level world, (women, for example, have to
go only to “womens” hospitals, bleeding to death or not; and usually
somewhere well below veterinarian clinics in quality)…. except for
the ruling caste, of course, who live in luxury. Meanwhile, the
suffering of the surviving poor and downtrodden only worsens.
I think that we are faced with a very dangerous situation. All who say
they ”don’t support Bush or the war”, are repeating liberal propaganda and
effectively supporting a very active aggression, which is undeniably
bent on (by it’s own doctrine) subjugation of the entire world by
brutal force. We are planting the deadly seeds of indecision that
will cost the lives of our soldiers (sons, daughters, mothers,
fathers, and friends), and ultimately us.
Terrorism violates every conceivable principle that we, Western Civilization
hold. Religious terrorism violates them repeatedly, and with gleeful
delight. To fail to oppose terrorism puts the lie to everything we do.
To fail to oppose religious terrorism, rigorously, is basically
murder/suicide.
One of the most important aspects of Christianity is that we live our
religion – we walk the walk. Would you oppose a rape? A murder? A
child molester? Would you allow someone to keep a slave ? Would you defend the victim? Help them escape? Would you stand by and allow it to happen on the basis of an ill-defined philosophy of pacifism towards the rapist/murderer/ slave owner?
Would you let them get away to do it again? What do you do about a
person whose religion says they must kill you in order to get into
“heaven” and they have indeed come to kill you? These are hard
questions. We are faced with them now. Answer them
carefully: Your answer will be heard by millions.
Disagree with the way it came to be (short-sighted capitalistic greed
and political manipulation) ….
Disagree with the way the war being handled, please!
Disagree with the diminishment of the rights of free people anywhere…
Disagree with the enslavement of people…
Disagree with (and stop) despotism…
Disagree with (and prosecute) the Daddy Warbucks’…
Disagree with the ongoing rape of our natural world that goes on daily
(or die slowly)…
But disagree constructively by making sure it’s done well… not by
mindlessly repeating liberal oriented, prepackaged, emotional
slogans and “cheap shots” that are empty of content (from either
side!). You might be feeding the monster… in fact, you probably
are. Ignorance tastes great.
Independently educate yourself about what is really going on and how
it came into being; more importantly, how to stop it and prevent it.
Know who’s doing what – and why. Then act – responsively and
responsibly.
But do not disagree with the destruction of a monster that wants to
destroy freedom, and those who bring it into being. That monster is in many places; it wears many faces… it shouts slogans, too. Learn the lessons howled from millions of shallow graves: Do not stop short; Do not let the monster grow.
If you do, you won’t have to ask yourself if you’re right or wrong… the evil of Islam will already have decided.
