Democrat claptrap. Israel and ispiglam are at war.Atrocities happen in war. If the shooter were my enemy I would treat him like any other enemy. Kill him. If he was my comerade I would ask him not to do that again. The members of this thread would fit well onto a california schoolboard. If you dislike history , change it. While you are at it don't forget the 60s when the Liberty was straffed by the israeli, oops! make that Afghani air force. You are becoming what I despise.
Holidays come and holidays go. This country no longer reveres antiquated white men. The next and greatest holiday will celebrate The Prophet or perhaps Mother Kali. HELLO! Americans let's focus please.
"but a free nation must be free to do as its collective will chooses -- even it that means choosing to lose. "
Dear smoothsailing; I enjoyed your post BUT I found the above most disturbing. The U.S. was designed as a republic precicely to avoid the nihilism endemic to democracy. The governments duty is to protect the citizens property and constitution of the United States. Since surrender to islam runs counter to this duty NOT EVEN an elected government would be free to make that choice.
