You are with us. Welcome.
I am reminded of what George W Bush said to the world before Congress in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 - to the effect that there was a clear choice - with us or with them.
Then he confounded that clear clarion call with a his bizarre declaration the Islam is a religion of peace.
Pre 9/11, I doubt if one American in a hundred knew any more about Islam than it was a religion practiced by non Jews and non Christians, centered in the Middle East. So, the President makes that declaration that he stuck with throughout his term in office.
Since 9/11 that one in a hundred who know much about Islam may have increased to ten in a hundred? But, the buzz from the Hive still echoes W's unfortunate declaration.
I wonder if he knows better today? I wonder if his conscience bothers him about that? Because, I believe he has one.
Dear Mr President: No one can doubt your love for our country. Please look at reality and come back with a recantation of your error. The time is short and the prospects grow dimmer by the hour. Your country needs you.
