Some people, like one commenter to yesterday's blog article, LYONSPOTTER, would like us to believe that our response to the attack by the Islamic terrorists is to forgive and to love them. Isn’t that what the Lord Jesus Christ teaches? He implies such when he asks me to view the YouTube video about President Bush and Jesus. Jesus does teach that principle on a personal level, that we are to love our enemies. We are to do good to them as well.
However, the enemy of a nation, which deliberately attacks that nation should not be treated as such, but should be destroyed. Osama Bin Laden and his Al Qaeda cell of vicious terrorists were not acting alone. They were aided and abetted by Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia and other mostly Muslim nations and individuals. President Bush went after the Taliban in Afghanistan and then Iraq. In hindsight the action against Iraq is now being questioned. I firmly believe that there were weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq, but the Democrats and the United Nations impotent negotiations and threats did nothing but give Saddam time to move them into Syria.
GETTING A PROPER PRESPECTIVE OF OUR ENEMY
OneNewsNow.com reports that according to Robert Spencer, author of a new book, Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't, “a Muslim website -- ReligionOfPeace.com -- documents more than 9,000 "Islamic terror attacks" and murders he says were perpetrated since September 11, 2001, in the name of Islam and justified by Islamic texts. He explains that the "left" compares that enormous figure to a few isolated incidents that were not necessarily perpetrated by Christians.
“"People like Rosie O'Donnell -- mainstream media figures and purveyors of moral equivalence -- are essentially saying that over 9,000 terror attacks are equivalent to [Oklahoma City bomber] Timothy McVeigh, who wasn't actually a Christian at all, and to a few abortion clinic bombers, of which there have been less than a dozen," he asserts.
“Spencer points out that the abortion bombers were repudiated by mainstream Christian groups. "There's no Christian group that is at all mainstream that says that the abortion clinic bombings were justified or right according to Christianity," he notes. In contrast, says the author, there is a "widespread understanding" in Islam that it is part of the responsibility of Muslims to "wage war in order to subjugate non-Muslims."”
I would add that I believe that the “left” is also the enemy of America. By their rhetoric and treasonous acts they aid and abet the Islamic terrorists as much as the Islamic nations mentioned earlier.
REMEMBER 9/11 AND NEUTRALIZE OUR ENEMY
In another news story OneNewsNow.com covers Joseph Farah's, who is the publisher and editor of WorldNetDaily, opinions on what happened in America in the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, 2001 . . . “"This is an area where I think [among] all of the presidential candidates there should be a consensus on this issue," says Farah. "We were attacked six years ago in a very dramatic fashion. Nearly 3,000 Americans were killed. And it is almost, in my mind, like people have either forgotten about it or think that it is some [sort of] anomaly or aberration that is never going to happen again."
OneNewsNow.com quotes Farah as saying the threat cannot be negotiated away because it needs to be confronted and defeated. "I believe the only way to do that is to neutralize that threat," the publisher argues. He says that was his view following the attacks and it remains his official stance. Farah believes that most Americans felt the same way the day following the attack; however, he contends there has been too much "wavering" on that issue since then.”
Neutralize Al Qaeda, I believe is what President Bush has attempted to do. He has had mixed results. But he generally has the right idea, though he is not prosecuting it optimally.
