The Weekend...

Well, It's Friday, the work week's mostly done. Get this last shift in and look at Saturday and Sunday. Yard work, mow mainly. Get that out of the way and I'll have a nice clean area to lay out the wing and get it de-sanded and inspected from the pole flying incident. I'd rather be flying tomorrow. But it's probably not going to happen. Perhaps Sunday morning early if the weather agrees.
Tomorrow's September 11th.
Makes me think how much we've been hurt by those terrorists. Our society's changed/changing as a result of it. It's been politicized. People are out there acting as if it's their own personal monopoly and only they can have feelings about it. Worse it makes me think how much people have already forgotten or are trying to forget. I'm sorry but a 527 group called 9/11 widows funded by John Kerry's wife complaining everytime a Bush ad has a 9/11 image is a bit out of it.
Wake up America. 9/11 happened to all of us. Everyone's got a right to have feelings about it. Why say images of it are "painful" to the families? They're painful to us all. But forgetting would be worse. People want to get back to normal, well folks it isn't going to get back to "normal" ever. We have to watch now, we have to be ready. We have to be willing to protect ourselves.
No one else is going to look out for America, but Americans. That's our job. Our families.
Tell me you wouldn't pull the trigger to save your daughter, son, wife, mother or father...

We should forgive, we should find peace.
They don't want peace, they want American blood. Just because we're Americans!

And then there are those dancing in the blood, making "documentaries" and millions blaming us.
To say that 9/11 is Americas fault, that we deserved it, has got to be the biggest line of shit I have ever heard. 9/11 happened because those terrorists had the will, and the means to make it happen. They are the reason 9/11 happened, not us. Blame the victim, so popular now.
The apologists rein supreme... Islam is a religion of love, Muslims are peaceful people, you've heard it all as I have too. Even my damn spellchecker insists "muslim" be capitalized.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but most surely today, 98% of terrorists are Muslim...

The War on Terror is an expensive one.
I heard a soldier in Iraq quoted as saying "It's easier to kill them over here, that is would be at home..." And I agree. I'm grateful he has that opinion. I'm grateful to every soldier that's over there trying to prevent it from coming over here. I'm grateful to their families for enduring the hardships. I support their efforts and am sorry for their losses.

But in the politicking, they complain on how the war's being fought, when it was fought, why it was fought. "What have we got to show for it?", they ask.
What do they want, attacks every so often to remind them why there's so much money being spent to fight it? Money and time spent to prevent isn't ever seen as justified if it actually prevents now is it? Now there's a catch-22.

Now I have a question. What ever happened to the neutron Bomb? You remember. The one Jimmy Carter told us about... Blows up in the air, massive radiation, DOESN'T DESTROY BUILDINGS... kills everyone and a few days later you go in and clean up the bodies...
Remember that? Let's use it. Leaflet the crap out of the problem areas, tell the civilians to get out and...BOOM! Neutron Bomb. Dead terrorist's, problem solved. No mosques destroyed, no holy cities destroyed, just nice happy hand of God, everyone dies that was there death, dealt out by the good old USofA...
Kill our people and this is what happens to you.
They understand stuff like that...
