When the Empire Strikes Back
Our leaders now want Congress to approve the Al Queda trials of Muslim prisoners at Gitmo. It seems that these political maneuvers, in my humble opinion, were planned from the very outset...from the get go. The rhetoric of mid-term elections is rolling in like ubiquitous storm clouds along a troubled coast. The issue becomes who will tell us what we want to hear? Who will promise to do the most... To keep safe a united people from every querulous corner of the earth? Whom will come to our rescue? Which political party, I wonder, will find the solutions to our problems first? Politics...huh! Some folks say it's a way of modern life and we have got to love it, even when everyone is passing the buck or the blame for administrative failures, or trying to find a place to shove it... On a back burner somewhere only to divert our attention from the real issues of the world in which we live...not to mention... the scores of enemy nations abroad who would rather fight and kill than forgive... Those who do not share in their faithful beliefs. They cannot and will not see that tolerance is the glue which binds us here to this great land. Without this glue that binds us, this empire, in all it's glory, would not stand... For liberty, justice and freedom for all. We are merely a fledgling young democracy ourselves at heart. We possess the fervor and spirit to spread our ideals to others around the world before they fall apart. All in all, I'm convinced that the United States is indeed on the right track during this World War Three. The question remains: do our enemies tremble with fear when the empire strikes back? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
