Desecration
10/25/05
There
was an incident recently concerning some soldiers in Afghanistan
burning the bodies of some dead Taliban troops,
supposedly to taunt some other troops to come out and fight.
I refuse
to judge these American troops on what they did, I am neither
condoning it nor condemning it and neither should the American
media.
Why?
Because we werent there and we dont know the circumstances
under which this was carried out. Personally I believe that
what happened had something to do with saving American lives
and the fact that war is hell.
Besides,
this is not the first time this has happened. It was not long
ago that Islamic crazies not only burned the bodies of American
service men but hung them from a bridge in full view of the
public.
Not
to mention the bloody beheading of an American captured on videotape
and shown to the world at large. Now just how desecrating is
that?
I wonder
what would happen if, God forbid, terrorists were to come and
blow up the New York Times building with everybody in it and
when they started screaming at the military for not preventing
it the military would reply, Well were sorry folks
but the people who destroyed your building are the same Taliban
members we were trying to coax out when we burnt the bodies
and we had to give it up because of media pressure.
The
point being that the terrorists we are fighting in Afghanistan,
Iraq and other places are the same terrorists who would like
nothing better than come to America and destroy this country
piece by piece.
Do you
think the terrorists who blow up buses in Televiv are any different
from the Saudis who flew a plane into The Pentagon?
Do you
think the insurgents our troops are killing in Iraq and Afghanistan
are any different from the ones who killed so many people in
Indonesia?
They
come from all over the Middle East and Southwest Asia to blow
them up for Islam. What makes you think that they would not
come to the U.S.A?
We are
way too quick to judge our military. Its amazing just
how fast the American media jumps on the terrorists side
every chance they get. Its not only amazing its
disgusting.
They
do an injustice to our men and women in uniform by being so
quick to condemn them in situations they are not in a position
to
evaluate.
I believe
that if we could take the media and the partisan politics out
of this war and let the military do their job it would be over
with in a matter of months.
In my
opinion there should be one standard in this war. The only good
terrorist is a dead terrorist.
Pray
for our troops
What
do you think?
God
Bless America
