MAKE LOVE NOT WAR?
Note: I've transferred this from an old post on my other blog in response to the situation in the middle east. It isn't about the conflict per se, it stems from 9/11 and a countries right and responsibility to defend itself against those who seek to destroy it.
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.
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. 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
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 have been 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 ask Israel.
Go. Brew your coffee, get in the carpool line and thaw out your hamburger for dinner.
Drop daisies? What the Hell is wrong with you America?
