Suppose
We Gave In
Well
the same old Save the whales and Kill the
babies bunch are at it again. This time theyre protesting
the fact that were defending ourselves against terrorism.
While in my book this is idiocy in the first degree, lets
just suppose that we just brought all the troops home, pulled
out of Afghanistan, abandoned Israel, forgot about Saddam Hussein,
released all al Qaida/Taliban prisoners and stopped our pursuit
of terrorists in this nation. Heres a likely scenario:
You would wake up one morning to find that the Sears Tower had
been destroyed during the night, that the Capitol Building had
been bombed and the White House had been attacked by suicide
bombers. Then a couple of years down the line, if we were still
functioning as a nation we could sit back and watch Saddam Hussein
start lobbing atomic and biological weapons over into Israel.
And shortly after that someone would explode a suitcase sized
nuclear bomb in Los Angeles making it uninhabitable for the
next ten thousand years. Can you imagine headlines like, Thirty
million infected with deadly Anthrax, or,Nations
water supply contaminated by deadly virus,or Entire
wheat crop destroyed by unknown blight. What kind of people
do you think were dealing with? Do you think that by placating
and giving in to them that theyll leave us alone? Do you
really believe that the Palestinians and the rest of the world
would be happy with a chunk of the West Bank? If you do youre
easily fooled. They want nothing less than the complete destruction
of Israel. Do you actually think that these terrorists would
leave us alone if we pulled our troops out and stopped supporting
Israel? If you do, your naivety is beyond articulation. That
is not the radical Islamic mandate which will settle for nothing
less than an Islamic planet. What do you think of people who
will strap explosives on a ten year old boy and send him out
to blow himself up just to kill a few Israeli soldiers? Are
these the people youre defending? Would you like to see
things go back to the way they were in Afghanistan? How can
you be so staunch in your support of womens rights
and take up for a regime that treats women like cattle? Do you
honestly believe that if we did what you want us to do that
you would be safe and sound in your little fantasy world just
because you have your misguided ideals? What you are protesting
is nothing less than the very survival of the United States
of America. Wake up America, its not time for business
as usual. This thing is not over by a long shot. The only thing
that can save this nation is the protection of Almighty God
and the eternal vigilance of its people. We are just now experiencing
what most of the rest of the world has had to deal with for
decades. We are going to have to face up to the fact that we
will be engaged in this battle for survival for years, possibly
decades. But if thats the price for freedom, what choice
do we have?
What
do you think?
God
Bless America
