I had a former manager of mine at Radioshack whose daughter was in the US Navy. In fact, she was stationed aboard the USS Cole. She had in fact just finished eating, had put her tray up, and got 5 feet away from the mess hall door when she was thrown up against the ceiling in a terriost act. I remeber coming into to work that day, not knowing anything about it and seeing my manager on the floor crying his eyes out when he finally heard from his daughter nearly 8 hours after the explosion.
I met up with again again yesterday, and when the subject of the war came up, he simply said that he hopes they all (terriosts) die.
This speech is a really good point. How many more families and victims must suffer before we finally do anything about it. Hopefully, no more. It is time that we acted intead of react. It's time that our soldiers face their enemies head on, rather than sit around and wait for them to sneak up. It's time to not only destroy terrorists organizations, but also the countries that hide and support them.
I know the main reason for terrorism is in protest to US policies and troops in the middle east, but honestly, if these people could govern themselves without killing each other, then we wouldn't be over there. Personally, two years ago, I was of the opinion that we should just pull all our troops and assets out of the middle east and let them wipe each other out. Of course, thats not possible, because for all the countries that scream against the US being in the middle east, there would be an equal number just as angry for the US pulling out of the middle east, and would try and blow us up anyways.
signatures suck
