Finish the war in Afghanistan

Another tragedy in the War on Terrorism, oh ... sorry ... the police action against those who make war, destroyed the Twin Towers, kill our soldiers, detonate suicide bombs in the midst of civilians, usurp the foods sent to starving people, kill their own for not complying with the rules of their religion, threaten death to those who publish cartoons of their holy leader and those who write books criticizing their religion.

I have had it, those of that religion do not speak up against the "radicals" and say that we should accept them into the United States with open arms as do our most righteous government leaders and treat them as criminals and not as warriors. This country has been at open war against the "Muslim radicals" for many years ... from the bombing of the Marine barracks to the Cole ... now is the time to finish it. Send the troops to Afghanistan to finish this war.

OK ... it was just another dozen or so of American citizens and soldiers ... not that our blessed President might be concerned, after welcoming those to the conference he was attending he was not too distracted to take a moment to mention the shooting of our soldiers before speaking about what he is doing for the country.

But then, hey, I am just an American citizen. Nobody important, AstroTurf, another fanatic radical, a tea party follower, just another stupid citizen who doesn’t know or understand that I can’t live my life without the guidance of the Socialists in our government.

My condolences to the families of those good soldiers who paid the price in the defense of our country. I served my time, and by the grace of God was never put in harm’s way. Thank you, my brothers in service to this country, and I pray that your sacrifice was not in vain.
