A Brassy Housewife's Take On the War on Terror
Patriot Room ^ | January 22, 2009 | Bill Dupray

Posted on 01/22/2009 6:45:59 PM PST by Bill Dupray

This is a letter from a Canadian housewife to the editor of a her local New Brunswick newspaper.

A girl after my own heart.

'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001 and have continually threatened to do so since?

Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from the nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan.

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

More . . .

Great post. I just got back from spending the past eight days in Western New Brunswick. Minus 40 Celsius followed by 18 inches of snow.

Oh, and I drove, from Ohio.

The greatest outrage of it all is that, even after 9/11, we still allow Muslims to immigrate. After that date, their traffic pattern should have been reversed.

They who sleep with the enemy must accept the consequences.

While I enjoy the sentiment, why would a Canadian woman used the phrase "across the Potomac from the nation's capitol".. Wash DC is not Canada's capitol
