Make love not war. Give Peace a chance. Drop daisies… not bombs. On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, America woke up like they did every other day. Coffee brewed, children pounded on the bathroom door, and dinner plans were finalized. Horns blared in Manhattan, buses made their appointed rounds in Cleveland and around the country planes waited on runways for clearance. On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden was already awake. With no intention of dropping daisies, he was about to give America a wake up call that they would never forget. In the streets of Manhattan, you couldn’t see the streets of Manhattan. But you could hear the weeping and the wailing. In the streets of Iraq, the people danced and celebrated. And in LA Michael Moore was shoving his face full of chicken wings. "These acts shattered steel but they cannot shatter the steel of American resolve" (G.Bush) What resolve? In a New York minute we have forgotten. The War on Terror is currently going on around the globe. The United States and her Allies have captured over 3,000 al Quaida operatives in 102 countries. Jeepers, Beaver, can’t we just give peace a chance? Bernard Brown, Asia Cottom and Rodeny Dickens, three sixth graders from Washington DC, took American Airlines Flight 77 from Washington’s Dulles Airport on their way to California on a National Geographic-sponsored education trip to learn about the Channel Islands near Santa Barbara. Imagine what went through their minds as they looked out the window while their hijacked jetliner flew into the west side of the Pentagon. More Candy… less war. "We can take a chance in going back to where we were before Sept. 11, 2001, with someone who can't seem to make up his mind whether terrorism is serious or a nuisance." --Rudy Giuliani Even a three year old understands the nature of idle threats and a slap on the wrist. It is their greatest tool to getting what they want. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.—Ronald Reagan American troops overwhemlingly support President Bush. But what do they know? Osama bin Laden, who planned the 9/11 attack killing 3,000 of our countrymen -- men, women and children -- has issued a statement in support of John Kerry. He is joined by the communist party and a long list of tyrants such as... Abu Jalal, Saddam Hussein, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, Kim Jong-Il, Mohammad Khatami, Moammar al-Ghadafi and Hu Jingtao. Why do you suppose that the enemies of America are supporting Kerry and with whom will you vote? What will you do when they come for you? Perhaps if the people in the twin towers would have held up their fingers in a peace sign... planes would have stopped mid-air and the towers would be standing today. If only we would have slapped bin Laden upside his head with a little diplomacy back when his targets were only nuisances. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Why does America have to be number one? Go ask the parents of the children killed in the school Russia, ask a woman in Afghanastan who could be put to death for showing her face in public or someone whose family is laying in the bottom of a communal grave because Sadam Hussein was growing a little bored. Go. Brew your coffee, get in the carpool line and thaw out your hamburger for dinner. God help us. Peace through strength. Drop daisies? What the Hell is wrong with you America? |

Thanks noguru and dariana... i am thinking about writing a purely political blog... you know... conservatism through the eyes of a female rebel. it is my passion but I am afraid that I may be opening pandora's box and unleashing a frighteningly opinionated monster. :)
