To
all,
I will
apologize in advance for my rantings.
Under
normal circumstances, a diplomatic approach to international problems would be
preferable to military action. But, these are not a normal
circumstances and is most definitely no ordinary events. The rules have
changed and the time has come for the people of this great country to demand a
response. Congress must step up to the plate declare a formal state of war
on any and all that allow, encourage and perform such despicable acts. We,
the American people need to be assured that these events will not go
unanswered. We need to let the rest of the world know that we can not and will not
allow any entity to attack our citizens or our military ever again. We
must put the terrorist communities around the world on
alert that they have pissed off the wrong country.
I
heard talk on the news channels yesterday about declarations of war with
references to Vietnam, Korea, Desert Storm, etc. along with the fact that a
declaration of war has not been made since the attack on Pearl
Harbor. Wake up people, that was then. Uncounted Americans are
dead, American property has been destroyed and the sanctity of our freedom
and very way of life is being challenged like never before. These attacks
happened on American soil. Usama Bin Laden issues statements that he did
not do this. Muslim extremists and supporters of terrorism celebrate in
the streets. Others extremists taunt the U.S. stating that we "do not have
the belly" to retaliate. The Taliban government of Afghanistan backs him
up and then says; don't bomb us, innocent people will die and reminds us to
consider the consequences. Too f...ing late Bubba.
I am
in one hundred percent agreement with the notion that countries that aid and
abet terrorism should also be held accountable. The terrorists that
carried out this attack can no longer be punished by any living human being, but
their comrades and leaders need to be dealt with immediately, swiftly and
absolutely. If the execution of this plan involves military action, so be
it. The full wrath of the American people must be unleashed against our
enemies.
The
nature of terrorism is so perverse and elusive that civilized people can not
readily understand it to the degree necessary to effectively eradicate this
threat to humanity. This is an issue of generational hatred that has now
come to a head with the United States as its primary focus. I for one do
not want to live in the gun sights of an enemy with no face, courage, honor or
reason. There will be no diplomatic solutions. There will be no
negotiations. There will be no compromise. There must be
action.
This
sh.. stops, and it stops right now.
Thanks
for letting me vent.
