Yet Another Act of Barbaric Terrorism

Bloggers all over the Blogosphere are going to blog on the recent Terrorist act. What? You didn’t know it was Terrorism that killed our American in Saudi? Please, that is exactly what it was. Psychological Terrorism. They can’t take us out in large numbers, our Military Might will seek them out and destroy them, but they CAN cause psychological damage through our media. They behead an American, throw the pictures on the internet, release the video and 'Voila', we are all completely, and rightfully so, repulsed and angered. We are a civilized nation. Acts of such brutality play on our psyche. Please tell me that I am NOT the only one who remembers the exact picture of Col. Higgins hanging? These images are not ones easily dismissed from our brains, here in America. Living in our Free World Democracy, these are not images we are accustomed to seeing, Thank God.

So how am I feeling about this right now? Knee jerk reaction, as an e-mail buddy of mine would say, and he knows who he is, “Turn the place to glass.” The old fashioned Boudicca way of going house to house, slaughtering one and all, burning every home to the ground, would be too slow. I will probably have this knee jerk reaction for awhile because as Blog Father Harvey alludes to in his blog, NOBODY over there is condemning it, at least not yet. (If you hear of anyone who is, let Harvey know… he wants to hear about it.) It really is time for the moderates to start stepping up to the plate and say, “I can’t take it NO more!”. If that time is not here, it is quickly approaching.

There are far more intelligent and well written people on this blogosphere than I, who have posted extensively on this already. I will refer you now to two posts I have read from two bloggers I respect immensely… a husband and wife team no less, out of Leavenworth. First is John and his latest Wahabism Delenda Est entry. John has written at length and with great clarity on his blog over the past few months about the entire war. Second is his wife, Beth. I love Beth’s entry today “Reality Sucks”, in particular her last line, “But mostly, I want our so-called Democrat leaders to quit their blame games and get with the President on defeating the greatest threat our country has ever known since Hitler.” So take a read if you have the time.

Also, I put this in my comment section on my Iraq entry , but will throw it out there now. From what I understand, Saudi Arabia is in the midst of a hellacious recession. Only 10% of the country is Kingdom. That leaves the other 90% to have to deal with the joblessness that comes from the stranglehold of an economic recession. Where are they sending their young men who cannot find jobs? It’s been explained to me, from someone with family in the Middle East, that the sons are being sent to the Mosques. They are young testosterone driven poor uneducated jobless men. What are they learning? Islamic Fundamentalist Extremism. The economic problems of the Middle East will come to haunt us, not in the traditional ways we know of stock markets falling etc, but in the ways of the Beast I wrote about earlier. It’s a religious war people.
