I mainly wanted to just say a few words about the war. Remember, the one that's going on right now in the east? You forgot? You mean going to your job or school or staying at home in your peaceful suburban homes with your peaceful suburban families and your peaceful suburban dog doesn't remind you that there is terrible war going on right now?
I never had much of an opinion when it came to the war before today. I went to my job, came home, hung out with friends. All the while, there is fight like none the world has ever experienced going on. That's because in today's fight, we're fighting against an idea, rather than a group of people dressed in the same pajamas. The idea is terrorism. I don't know how many of you realize how awful and disgusting the concept of terrorism is. It preys on your fears. The terrorist wants to kill the country slowly, making it suffer. They want to see this economy go bad. Why do you think we have a bad economy right now? It's the repercussions of the events that began to transpire after the 9-11 attack in New York that fateful tuesday morning. You're probably wondering how all of this fits together. Before you can begin to understand the War, you have to understand the ideas and the things that the people fighting are fighting for. You have to understand what motivates them enough to hop in the pilot seat of a 747 and proceed to ram it into a building killing thousands of people in less than an hour. Every single one of us forgets how scary that day was. It could happen again anytime, anywhere.
As I mentioned before, you have to understand where these people are coming from. We already know what the Americans are fighting for (or at least most Americans) which are things like freedom (which really isn't the case over here but whatever) and other commodities that you and I take for granted every single day. Point being, it's very different for the Muslims. Most of you probably don't realize this, but Islam is an extremely conservative religion. Even more so than Catholicism or even Baptist Bible thumpin' Christians. In Islam, if you mess up, you get killed. No questions asked. If you're a women, you're not a person. You have little to no 'rights' and you accept this because this is just the way things are. In Islam, life is hard and for some miserable. These are not you're every day muslims. These are the ones from the fatherland, the ones that take it and practice it to the letter. These are the religious and political LEADERS in Islam.
If the people in charge are the corrupt ones, then everyone suffers. My point is, Islam is only fun for those running the show. Otherwise, there are a lot of morals to stand by.
Enter America. One day, a country called America crossed the giant ocean because of the oil found in the east. We have oil here, but there are just too many cute little snow bunnies in Alaska, and drilling up there, well, that would just be mean to the little bunnies. Anyway, we start giving lots and lots of money to the east for their oil. Lots and lots of Money. Now, before we went and started emptying our wallets in to their turbans, the east was relatively poor. Guess who had all the money in the east? If you said 'the people running the show' I will give you a high five next time I see you. Yes, the people with the fat wallets are the ones making all the rules. Well all of the sudden, the eastern economy booms because of all the money they got from us. Money. Something that was severely lacking until we started using their land as our own little grocery store.
Now lets fast forward a few years and see what happened. You now have a thriving economy where there was once only money for some. With money, people can live how they want to. They started getting nightclubs. Just like America. They started having bars. Just like America. They started to divert from their strictly held morals. Just like America. They wanted to be just like the people they saw on their new TV sets that they could now afford to buy.
Sounds like a cool thing right? Everyone wants to be like America. Not really, but some people did. This did not make the leaders of Islam happy one bit. They were quickly losing control of the people they had ruled with an iron fist over for centuries. They were infuriated, insulted, and disgusted at what the people who called themselves 'Muslim' were acting like. Who to blame for all this immorality? Who brought all these ideas of freedom over to our people? Who instilled these repulsive and vile urges in the minds of the people of Islam. The Americans. The Americans turned our once moral and righteous nation into a mockery of what it used to be. Someone has to pay for this. The Americans will pay for this.
And now we are. The subsequent events changed the East forever. The youth were brought up and trained to loath America and western civilization. Western Civilization is evil. Western civilization is immoral. Western civilization is an abomination to our god. Pretty soon, the leaders were (and are) back in control, ruling over their people with the same tactic their using over here. Terrorism. It wasn't bad enough that you had to die when you broke the law. Now anyone, anytime, can die.
On 9-11, the war was made known to the public. The people of the world saw far the very first time the hatred these people have for us in broad daylight, and broadcast thousands of times on every news channel. They hate us enough to take their own lives, as long as it leaves behind a wave of destruction over their enemies. Who are their enemies? Everyone who doesn't believe what they do. It's that simple. If you're not a Muslim, you are doomed to die.
So now America, no longer able to effectively hide terrorism under the covers, sends troops over to the east to find those responsible for the deaths of innocent (hmm...) civilians and put a bullet in their perverted brains. But see that's the thing. These people could be anyone. Anyone who decides they want to go make a bomb can do it. Terrorism, is an ugly thing. It preys on humanities weakness, rather than physical weakness. Everyone has fear, and these filthy sand bags want to use it to their complete advantage to take their misguided righteous revenge on our asses. When we can't find the enemy, we have to start killing everyone.
That upsets some people. Well, don't kill innocent people. Anyone who has any information regarding terrorist activity and does not expose them are just as bad as the terrorists. But do you wanna know why no one exposes the Terrorists??? FEAR! If an individual or group of individuals wants to do the right thing and let our troops know what's going on, they get bumped to the top of the hit list. They will be hunted down and slaughtered by their own people.
As bad as that sounds, not saying anything makes them scum just like the terrorists. If you're too scared to die to save many, then you don't value life nearly enough. At least the terrorists are willing to make sacrifices what they believe to be true. To me, if you're too chicken shit to go to the authorities with information regarding terrorist activity, then you have two strikes and no balls in my book.
So now, here we are. A bunch of ignorant idiots sitting on our lazy asses voting people into office who we know nothing about. Like I said, I hate politics, but....here we go. Do any of you realize that president elect Obama has heavy Muslim ties (He wasn't born in America, don't let anyone tell you otherwise) and although I'm not making any sort of judgement on him, I find it weird that he wants to pull out of Iraq so quickly. To the East, that is saying, "Yes, we are the most powerful nation in the world, and you guys have us stumped. We'll leave you alone now."
That's what scares me. If we take our troops out of Iraq, then their just going to take the War over here. Over here, there are lots and lots of civilians, all of them possible targets. If you take the troops out of Iraq, the radical Muslims WILL find their way over here and start killing people by the thousands. You saw for yourself on September 11th what these people are capable of.
And still people whine when they hear that 3,000 of our boys lost their lives in Iraq this year. Yes, war is a terrible thing. All life is valuable, and it's a shame that people have to die for what we believe in. But in WWII, 3,000 lives were lost before lunch. America has a very weak stomach for war. It's uncomfortable, not to mention I can't watch the news without hearing someone else losing their life. How awful. Seriously? Grow a pair.
I think that all these misinformed pacifist swine need to remember that there is still a War going on. As long as we are America, they will hate us. As long as we are America, they will hunt us. As long as we are America, they will kill us.
So go ahead. Tell the boys to c'mon home.
