Here is a terrific piece from a New Jersey woman:
"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die in a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was 'desecrated' when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at
all.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, of which the mere possession is a crime in Saudi Arabia.
I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out and fight like men, instead of hiding in mosques and disrespecting their own religion.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of paradise care about the innocent children they take with them.
I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled', I don't care."
"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But the Marines don't have that problem"-Ronald Reagan
"If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."-Ronald Reagan
In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember Britain's prime minister Tony Blair's words. When asked by a member of parliament why he believed so much in America, he replied, "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in and how many want out."
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G.I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
I add: AMEN.
