A Grim Reminder

Good Morning World... there is a war going on.

There are a lot of people in this world that have been saying trash like "Bush and Blair are the greater theat to the human race than the islamists." They've had that lie literally blow up in thier streets. As of this writing nearly 800 casualties and 40 of them fatalities. The worst attack since the Blitz of WWII on London, a horror that seems to have caught the West off guard. Thankfully, there was not panic, and the order, calm and good planning paid off in fewer casualties. Thank God for that.

Its been nearly four years since 9-11 and over a year since Madrid...The poll numbers are falling on the war, both here and abroad, then guess what? Britain has its 9-11, and the words that Mr. Bush was mocked for using, calling the terrorists "evil, wicked, and inhuman" are on the lips of Europe's most liberal leaders... I hope this time they take hold of the idea that pandering to these monsters does only harm and no good.

For those of you that think that the Iraq war is wrong, imagine having this in your neighborhood? I have dear friends that live and work and use the train in London, God knows how they are doing...

Understand...The Iraq war is a magnet that is drawing the terrorists to that part of the world, and keeps the fight away from us. Away from our neighborhoods and homes.Thank God for that and thank God for the brave service men and women that are on the front lines fighting these animals every day.

My only fear is that we are doing in this country what Europe has done over the last 30 years, and that is, allowing the islamic community to breed home grown jihadist. This attack in England was likely carried out by a home grown terrorist. We need to really be vigilant as a people in alerting officials of suspicious activity and our government needs to take seriously the threat of the muslim ghettos that are growing here.

I am so very sorry for those that lost loved ones today. But this is a wake up call that I feared was soon to happen. We are a complacent people and that is exactly that which our enemy uses to gain a foothold, to attack this weakness in our character. We in the West must never forget that radical islam sees us as lessor beings and unworthy of life. We must, as Mr. Blair said, "stay the course and show that our values of freedom and justice will prevail in the face of terror."

We are with you, sir. America stands with you....
