Never forget, never forgive.
Our war started with the Barbary Wars. It didn’t start with the first Gulf War, or the USS Cole, or the first WTC bombing, or our embassy being taken hostage, or God help me for saying this, 9-11-01. Our war started with the Barbary Wars, and it’s been going on ever since, whether out in the public eye, or in a cave in the mountains of the Middle East. We’re going to have to take care of this before it’s too late.
They started it, we’ll finish it.
Not really. That's just when we joined it. The war has been going on ever since Mad Mo the Delusional and his homicidal band of deranged followers came roaring out of the Arabian desert with fire and the sword.
I agree with you. For the sake of conversation, I believe that the total number of years, in recorded history, that a major war was not being fought somewhere in the world is.........7 years. Human beings are war like individuals and it will never change. Either we have those that want war or we have those that fight them off. The two go hand in hand. If we didn’t have the resolve to take care of and protect this country, there are those that would destroy us.
I like your long, historical perspective. It’s true.
Islamism and Communism have combined with hatred of America because it’s God-given and free and prosperous. Since they don’t manage to climb, they want to pull us down to their level.
Peace will be achieved by annihilating these people.
