Peaceful
Solution
Lately on television I have been seeing images of small demonstrations
for a peaceful solution to the war against terrorism we’ve recently
had thrust upon us. While I respectfully defend these people’s
right to demonstrate for or against anything they want to, I think their
collective cause is indefensible. In fact, it is something we have already
tried. We didn’t provoke this bunch of monsters, if anything we
have attempted to placate them, which was a terrible mistake on our
part in the first place. They’ve bombed two of our Embassies and
the U.S.S. Cole, killed our people, destroyed our property and so far
all we’ve done is bomb a chemical factory in retaliation. Now they
have struck at the very heart of this nation, killed thousands of people,
disrupted countless lives, set back our economy and changed our lives
forever. And you people think that these perverts will accept a peaceful
solution. The only peaceful solution they would accept would be for
all America to adopt radical Islamic religion and join them in the complete
destruction of Israel. There is no peaceful solution to be had with
this bunch of scum bags and the sooner the world is rid of them, the
better off we’ll be. And I don’t mean bringing them to jail
to face some protracted court trial and receive a life sentence by some
lilly livered liberal judge who doesn't believe in the death penalty.
I’m talking about completely destroying them, all of them. Every
murdering terrorist in the world. What you people can’t seem to
understand is that these people are dedicated to annihilating us and
all who think like we do and they will not stop as long as there’s
breath in their bodies. They don’t care about anything or anybody
except their own insane cause. Even their own people suffer because
of their evil. Innocent Middle Eastern citizens of this country and
others will be scrutinized every time they board an airplane or even
go out in public, and while I abhor the ill treatment of anybody because
of their race, and passionately urge all Americans to refrain from unfair
treatment of all races, it is a natural reaction when the bad guys live
among the good guys and you can’t tell them apart. As I said, I
defend your right to protest but in reality you make me sick. You are
marching across the graves of over five thousand innocent citizens who
did nothing more that try to go to work on a Tuesday morning. You desecrate
the memories of the people who died in the Embassy bombings and the
destruction of the U.S.S. Cole. You spit in America’s face when
you say that she is not worth defending and you weaken the resolve of
some people who don’t have the courage to think for themselves.
I have a suggestion. Why don’t you form a delegation and go to
the Middle East and just demand that these people cease and desist.
Go and talk to Bin Ladin and Arafat and Saddam and all the rest of the
monsters who make up the terrorist organizations which threaten the
world. You can tell them of your concerns that the violence will beget
more violence and that what this world needs is just a little more understanding.
That if they will only lay down their arms that we can all live together
in peace and harmony. Maybe you could even pin a flower in Bin Ladin’s
beard. But let me also tell you this. After you have this fruitless
conversation you’d better get the hell out of the way because the
U.S. military is on the way and I wouldn’t want any of you non
violent flower children to get caught in the crossfire.
Pray for our
troops.
