Let us pray for our enemies…

I’m not going to claim that I’m somehow perfect(no matter how many people actually think I am).  I’m not going to claim that I have all of the answers in life.  That’s not for me to decide(I know what you’re thinking right now and I agree it probably SHOULD be for me to decide).  I would like to believe that we as civilians aren’t so arrogant as to tell our own military how to protect us from the evils of the world.  Yes, folks…there are many, many evils in this world that wish to do us harm.  As soon as you come to grips with that fact I can guarantee your life will become much easier.

 As of right now I can imagine anyone reading this is wondering just what in the hell I am talking about.  Well I will get to that point in just a minute.  We are at war ladies and gentlemen.  We are fighting a very, very vicious and determined enemy.  This is an enemy that is constantly plotting new events and ways as to how to harm as many citizens of “the great Satan” as possible.  That’s right.  That means you and everyone you love in this great country. 

 Donald Rumsfeld once said that the key to winning this war is gathering intelligence.  Intelligence meaning information because proper and precise information is needed to make the quick decisions needed in battle.  This is a very spread out and mobile enemy.  Knowing that I will make the point AGAIN that precise information is needed to make the quick decisions necessary for us to survive this conflict along with the attempted attacks on our soil. 

That all being said it appears to me that one of the techniques used in gathering information has come under attack.  I’m talking about “water-boarding” of course.  Stephen King recently suggested that Jenna Bush be subjected to water-boarding herself.  Stephen, you’re an idiot.  Now if you ask me I would say the military and intelligence agencies know what needs to be done to get the job done in order to protect us.  They have had years of training individually and have our best interests at heart.  I’m not arrogant enough(shocking eh?) as a private citizen to believe I know better than the men and women that are trained to do the specific job of gathering intelligence.  Therefore I will not question it and I will support them in any measure possible against our enemy in order to protect us.

 Lastly, I want to make the point that THESE ARE TERRORISTS!!!  I can’t stress that point enough.  They are part of a volunteer network of thugs and scum that wish to kill every man, woman, and child for being a part of this nation.  This network declared war ON US well before 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq.  Call me what you will, but I have no sympathy for those that would do us harm especially in the face gathering information that will save troop or civilian lives.
