War and Truth 07/17/06

They say that the first casualty of war is the truth and I think the same could be said for political correctness. I don’t think facts have much importance in this philosophy.

As much as the liberal world would like to blame the latest war in the Middle East on Israel, unless you strain that theory through political correctness that dog just won’t hunt.

For instance, what if some thug came to your neighborhood and started lobbing hand grenades into your back yard while your children were playing on the swing set.

Of course, the first thing you’d do is call the police, hopefully the S.W.A.T. team. But what if the police sent a diplomat out to talk to the thugs and after he left they pitched another grenade on your property and hurt one of your children? What then?

I don’t know what you’d do but I know what I’d do. I’d go open my gun cabinet and take out the biggest rifle I’ve got and start shooting. If the police wouldn’t protect my children I certainly would.

Well in essence that’s what has happened in the Middle East. The terrorists just keep lobbing missiles into Israel and the world wants to take it to the United Nations, which makes about as much sense as assigning a kindergarten class to draw up an offensive game plan for the Green Bay Packers. In fact, the kindergarten kids would probably come closer to doing something constructive.

At their G 8 meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia the world leaders are calling on Israel and the Palestinians to declare a ceasefire, a case of political correctness at it’s finest. Who they should really be calling on is Syria and Iran. The Palestinians wouldn’t have a bullet or a gun to shoot it out of without the covert aid of these two terrorist nations.

The world may as well go ahead and realize the fact that we’re going to have to deal with Iran and Syria before we can do anything meaningful about the war on terror and hiding behind
The political correct attitude of not putting the blame where it belongs or depending on the United Nations is not only not going to get the job done it will only fan the flames and give Iran more time to develop nuclear capabilities and after that happens it will be time for Ms. Katie to bar the door.

And to dig a little deeper who supports Iran? We all know it’s Russia but we go right along as if Vladimir Putin was really interested in the welfare of the U.S.A. and other western nations.

And what about North Korea, who pulls that puppet’s strings?
Why our new friends the Chinese of course.
Let’s face it folks, by dealing with just the Palestinians and the North Koreans we are dealing with the symptoms not the cause and until our politicians get the guts to call an ace an ace we’re going to live in terrible danger. And it’s too late for action when the missiles are in the air.

Think about it.

Pray for our troops
