How to loose a war...let me count the ways...
When the media is outraged that some TERRORIST is perhaps being treated too harshly, when it looks deeply for any small excuse to point out the most minutes of mistakes. That people around the world DO NOT LIKE US when we defend ourselves. That none of this would have happend is a certain group had not hijacked some planes and killed several thousands of people just doing their daily jobs.
Cut me some slack, but I am soo fed up. You don't have to like the president or his policies, but understand people this is a bigger problem we face with people that despise us not only for whom we are, but sometimes fo what we do or beleive or not beleive in.
What are we holding in Guantanamo? TERRORIST for the great majority. Yes perhaps an innocent sheep herder or cloth loomer got caught with Al Qaida or the Taliban but I am certain the great majority of them would not loose a night sleep if I were dead, or as a matter of fact if all of you joined me. When I hear all that is bandied about concerning the Geneva Convention...please read it and you would understand. It does not apply to those in Guantanamo. The normal procedure in dealing with guerrillas is death. But we are not the barbarians we are portayed to be. Yes a simple bullet is tempting...but that is just not us.
So stop the whinning for the animals caught there, and focus instead on a clear September morning in Ney York...Washington DC...and a field in Pennsylvania and don't forget what really triggered the war.
