How soon we forget.

Published on June 15, 2005 By Moderateman In Politics

While all this discussion about America’s inhumane treatment of the poor terrorists, we seem to have forgotten something.

We were attacked, innocent men and woman and children, civilians, sneak attacked, MURDERED.

While the left is busy wringing their hands over if we will be perceived better by closing GITMO, They seem to have once again dropped the ball.

Not only was 3000 INNOCENT Americans MURDERED, but how about the families of these 3000 people? Who worries about them?

When will the secular left get it? That no matter what we do, and how we do it, someone is going to be unhappy about it?

We are not here to please the world; we are here to defend ourselves from, no conscious, murdering, religious fanatics, bent on the total destruction of America and her ways.

Wake up America, we are at war, we are in peril, we are at risk of losing everything that makes us the great people and country that we are.

The American public didn't know what was going on in the Nazi concentration camps but the administration did.

Government documents released in the mid-90's showed that ships carrying European Jews fleeing the holocaust arrived on American shores seeking asylum and were denied. Presumably those people met their fate on the forced return to German occupied Europe.

But that's not even the point. The issue of taking blame is always more compicated that these discussions make them out to be.

I say if you're making a geniuine and serious effort to do the right thing and catch flak for it, then so be it. THe problem is when criticism is actually due and we simply shrug our shoulders and say unacceptable things like "they're just gonna hate us anyway, so what."

That mind frame is not productive for any kind of resolution. Grown men and women should be able to take a look at where they have made mistakes, accept them and try to correct them.

It is the child that says "I don't care what you think" when valid criticisms are offered.

yes they did, but I am sure you are one of those people that cry if we get involved to fast, to slow or not at all, there is just no pleasing some people when america is involved.

millions?? gee I would love you to be my banker, I could deposit 100,000 and get credit for millions.

It wasn't millions, or 100,000. From everything I have heard, it was somewhere between 800,000 and 1 million.

whatever the number, slaughter is awful, one or one million, but read what I said above this post, this applies to you too.

When will the secular left get it?

Im curious as to when the tragedy on 9/11 became a sounding board for petty partisan politics. The tragedy on 9/11 was a tragedy and i wont forget it. Torturing suspected prisoners of war, if that is indeed going on, on our "innocent till proven guilty" soil is stooping to a level that is below our great nation. As for GITMO, I say we keep it open. Its nice weather, good food, and Christina aguilara music is no real torture. But this post need not be what it is: a generalized attack on the left (which i am, to clear the air, not one of the left or right.) under the pretense of a national tragedy, pounded in by mental pictures of dead americans, slaughtered at terrorist hands.
