Six Years Later
Six years since the bad guys were finally able to hit us hard enough to get our attention. And where are we today?
- Our Congress is more worried about how to get the hell out of a war, than they are in winning it.
- People in my office bitched because the boss asked us to observe a moment of silence today. And of course that one moment of quiet was followed by about 30 minutes of conversation about how we shouldn’t be so mean to Arabs.
- The few people asking the salient questions are by the blowhards that wouldn’t be content if they were hung with a gold rope.
- Our best friends are starting quite smear campaigns against us. Just like in the eighth grade.
And the world is a safer place for us today. Yes, there are a lot of people that don’t like us anymore. But there always was those people. And no matter what we did or didn’t do in the Middle East they would still hate us. Unless of course we were giving them cash or pulling their asses out of a fire.
This country doesn’t have the balls for a long war. That’s what it boils down to. When we’re required to have an attention span of more than five seconds we fail miserably. If World War II had lasted another ten months we’d have sued for peace with Hitler.
Don’t believe me? How many of your friends voted in the last local election? How many voted in the last American Idol? Get the idea now?
If it were up to me every news cast would start and end with the video clips of the attack on the World Trade Center. That way all the damned weaklings walking around out there would remember how at risk we are as a nation. But hell, that’s just me. And what do I really know?

Hmmmm. The “bad guys”.. The ones responsible for the Trail Of Tears, co-sponsors of The Middle Passage?
I lament the loss of innocent life on 9/11. But this notion that America is the pure, ever gracious, ever just virgin strolling down the lane,only to be upended by dastardly non-believers is.. well, do you smell it?
A country which has (also) done what this one has done around the world without batting a friggin eye should not be so lost in mawkishness. Or surprise. Maybe just sadness.
And a desire to play better with others.

I’ve never claimed that we are perfect. I only claim we are the best damned nation on the planet. Current actions never make up for past sins so quit whining about all the crap we did to the Indians in the 1800’s.
What happened on 9/11 should have been the wake up call to all the sheep in America that thought we couldn’t be touched. We should have done more, and done it sooner when we realized on the Clinton watch that the Muslim crazies were serious about brining terror to our soil. That was our bad. Now we need to do a better job of taking terror to their soil.
The spineless bastards in Congress and the puss jobs in the media need to crawl back into the closet. It’s a dangerous place out there and if we’re going to make it safer we’re going to have to kill some people. Lots of them.
