Today, 64 years ago, naval aircraft of the Empire of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. For the men and women serving there it was a complete surprise. Thousands were killed and wounded. President Roosevelt asked America to allow him to declare war, and we enthusiastically agreed. Less than 4 years later but many, many lives lost later, the learders of Imperial Japan sat on the deck of one of our battleships in Tokyo bay and signed an unconditional surrender. The men fighting in World War 2 certainly did not forget "Pearl," and neither should we.
Today we find our nation in a different struggle. A war against nameless, faceless terrorists who cowardly set roadside bombs, then run for cover among civilians. It is a war against people who want the total collapse of Western civilization in order to force thier ideology on us. Let us not forget the cataclism that began this fight. 9/11/01. I heard today that there are some in government that wish to treat the terrorists we catch as common criminals with full American citizen rights, as well as rights under the Geniva Convention. Perhapse they forget that these cowards are: A. Not American citizens, and B. Are not uniformed members of an organised military, nor do they belong to a signatory country of the Geniva Conventions. And don't try to argue that by "torturing" these terrorists, we are no better than they are. They torture and kill innocent civilians. Do we ever hear about them kidnapping American soldiers? NO! Because they are cowards. If our military deems them to be "enemy combatants" then they are no longer innocent.
Sorry, my blood gets boiling about this sometimes. If we are not careful, the panty-waist liberals will hand our great country over to these barbarians. And I feel that the "regular joe" gets drowned out by people who have nothing better to do than scream liberal garbage at the tops of thier lungs.
Well, there you have it. My musings for today

LEX REX The Law is King, and in our country even government officials are subject to the laws and treaties we sign as a Nation. The Geneva Convention is an international war law, which soldiers must obey. It doesn't matter the uniform or type of military unit, they are afforded the protections and responsibilities of this code. Until they are proven of guilt, they are innocent. The people held in military prisons are citizens of our world, and are afforded those same protections, why would this make you sick? There is no proof that they killed innocent civilians. I think there is more proof that the American military is doing more wrong, and maybe are just targets of these people, finding a way getting justice. If the US was invaded by foreign armies because the government was subjectively found to be corrupt, don't you think there would be people trying to defend their property and families. This is nothing more than what we would do as a people. We should fight to let these people go free.
