It’s Nitty Gritty Time

There are some people who blame the 9-11 attacks on the U.S.A. I don’t
understand it but some people claim that somehow in our foreign policy
we have offended these terrorists and that they are just getting even.

What did the Philippine’s do to these people and what did Indonesia do
to them? Both of these countries have had horrendous terrorist attacks
recently. Were they a result of foreign policy? Even Russia is
experiencing terrorist attacks.

The truth of the matter is that these people are murderous, inhuman,
scum bags who need no provocation. They are just bent on destroying
everyone who doesn’t bend to their will. We’ve had our collective heads
in the sand far too long. Let’s take a look at this thing in the bleak
light of truth. The truth is that we have done nothing to provoke these
attacks. Neither has the Philippines nor Indonesia. As I said, these
murderers need no provocation. They just follow the edicts of radical
Islam which believes that if you’re not Muslim you don’t deserve to live.

When are we going to acknowledge the absolute fact that the battle is
between the rest of the world and the radical Islamist who has no pity
for anybody. They mutilate and destroy innocent children with total
abandon. They just simply don’t care.

And it’s not just Al Qaida, it’s Iraq, Syria, Libya and factions in
every Islamic nation on the planet.

In the nineties, Bill Clinton sent billions of dollars to North Korea,
to bribe them out of producing nuclear weapons. Of course they ignored
their promises and are now a threatening force with which to be reckoned
with. Clinton’s downright irresponsibility has made the world a much
more dangerous place.

Are we going to do the same thing with Saddam Hussein? Can you imagine
this mad man with nuclear weapons?

France, Germany and many other countries along with many in our own
government question a preemptive strike against Iraq. What it comes
down to is do we want to deal with a conventionally armed Saddam or a
nuclear armed Saddam. Every day we hesitate is another day that he
moves closer to having nuclear capabilities.

Germany and France may think that they are safe from this maniac, but
that is a naive and irresponsible way of thinking. Saddam Hussein,
Muamar Kadaffi, Usama Bin Ladin and all of radical Islam are blood
enemies to the rest of the world. They will not rest until this is an
Islamic planet or they have all been wiped out. There is no other
course. They will not settle for anything less.

The longer we wait, the stronger they become.

While the Senate plays politics with meaningful homeland security
legislation, Al Qaida continues to plan their evil atrocities.

We are in incredible danger, the enemy walks among us. Now is the time
for action, not rhetoric, for solidarity, not division, common sense and
not political correctness, faith and not fear.

We can either fight Saddam in Iraq or fight his terrorists in the
streets of America.

We must be bold, decisive and united. We’ve done it before, with God’s
help we can do it again.

What do you think?
