Daniel Pearl was another journalist attacked by evil men in the Middle East. He was beheaded.
How long did it take us to forget about him? The media will soon forget about this evil too, or try to mollify its intensity. Who knows? Perhaps even Lara Logan will contribute later to their template by praising the few who rescued her--BUT the images of what evil men do are undeniable: western men and women are murdered just because they EXIST.
Nicholas Berg was beheaded, security workers in Fallujah were set afire and hung from bridges, missionaries were killed in Afghanistan, THERE IS NO END to the carnage.
Hell, we had an army chaplain MURDER SOLDIERS ON OUR OWN SOIL.
Yet the Dear Reader comes out and tells us not to jump to conclusions.
What happened to Ms. Logan is sickening--and it ought to make us angry. Angry at the men who attacked her and even angrier at the liberal mindset that allows us to so easily FORGET these atrocities.
I swear, what if we lived with this mindset back in 1941?
What if after Pearl Harbor we were told not to jump to conclusions, that the Japanese enemies were merely frustrated at American presence in the Far East?
What if our leaders told us not to jump to conclusions? That is just what is happening now...we had a President who took the threat seriously, and now we have one who winks at it.
Makes me sick to think our children are growing up in such a world.
We've got to change it folks: we cannot forget Daniel Pearl, just like another generation wouldn't forget Pearl Harbor.
