I quite agree that in this case they have chosen the terrorists/resistance/insurgency over us, their neighbors.
However, {and I know that you know this, kristinn} it is at once as simple as that, and not so simple. Your own repeated confrontations with the Pinkos across from W.R.A.M.C. demonstrate every bit as grapically as do Cindy Sheehan's plaintive, incessant, stubborn whinings - there is a more insidious agenda being laboured upon.
No it is not only "the terrorists", et al. It is "anybody and everybody" OTHER THAN the United States at all times and in all places.
If there be any good in this country or in its people, you would never know it listening to these nattering nabobs of negativity, AKA the "Hate America First, Hate America Always" crowd.
Theirs is a cup of misery shared equally. They steadfastly resist acknowledging American achievement, American Greatness, and the inspiration and impetus that America and her goodhearted, hardworking folk provide to those in the world who seek the freedom which their minds may not know, and their eyes may not yet see - but their hearts most assuredly can enunciate with crystalline clarity in the quiet darkness of their cruelest repression.
For the sake of Freedom we must not cease or desist, we must not allow their ilk to win the day. We must expose their unending stream of lies, mischaracterisations, half-truths and distortions to the bright daylight of unswerving honesty.
Their affiliations and associations, their arguments, bogus statistics, and fallacious contentions, every aspect of who they are and what they do must be thoroughly researched, traced, analysed and evaluated, debunked reasonably and rationally.
Their sources of funding must be investigated, publicised and any/all connections to known terrorist/communist/socialist/anti-American organisations must be publicized, and their motive questioned and eventually utterly discredited.
We must become knowledgeable, for the more knowledgeable we are, the less their chances of succeeding by deceit or stealth.
Above all, we must cling fervently to our moral principles, for it is those which bind us more strongly than any other single factor. They are our anchor, our fundament, and our rock in stormtides!
Thanks kristinn, for your ongoing contributions to a well met battle!
Blessings
