I, too, am tired of this war. I do not wish war or conflict on any nation or its people, but sometimes war is inevitable. Throughout the history of mankind there has been war on all corners of the earth for different reasons. And many people either support those wars or call for an abrupt end, just like they are doing today. My heart goes out to those who have loved ones in the midst of it.
It is my desire to see more leaders come to the tables to talk, with open minds, willing hearts filled with compassion and conviction, in making the world into a better place to live. Unfortunately, I?m afraid that would only happen in a dream world.
I believe America is truly blessed by the Almighty. I believe that God has allowed wars, and yes as terrible as it is, men both good and evil men have died in those wars. And what we stand for today will go into the history books of tomorrow.
What will it say of us? What do we want it to say of us? Will it say we were a strong nation at first, but we became weak and eventually became lost in the cause? Perhaps that is the question. What is the Cause; what are we truly fighting for? Are we truly fighting for our freedom and their independence? Will history show us as a confused nation, divided, lost? Or will we be remembered as a nation that has no voice, backbone or course? Will we become known as a nation that tucks it tail and runs when at the least sight of trouble begins brewing, or do we stand strong and proud? The best time for an enemy to attack is to catch the other side sleeping. Let us not be too eager to give up and throw in the towel
I have often found my self arm-chairing the war and the leaders. So easy to do, when I am here living out my daily life, going and coming as I please with my everyday routine plans for the day. Meanwhile, I have a 15 year old son. I do not want to see him be forced to go to war. But if he has to, or if he chooses to, I want him to know I would support him. I would tell him to be of good courage, and when he sees the sights and sounds of the battle coming from over the hill, do not run, but charge forward, for the enemy will surely come for him.
I want the war to come to a conclusion, soon. But, I want our future intact and our freedoms secure. And when that day comes, and we reach over the table to shake their hands in good faith, let their ears still hear the sound of our sword. A chilling reminder: don?t tread on me.
I want to leave our future generation safer if all possible. Let us not fall asleep, as Sir Winston Churchill stated about, whose in charge of the clattering train. We may get a rude awakening one day, when those chilling words, ?too late? ring out.
God forbid, we ever see a day, where you can not log into SOWAL or other message boards and be able to speak our hearts, our thoughts and prayers.
A nation that is divided will not stand. Hang in there Americans, don?t give up the fight.
God Bless America, Our Troops and its Leaders.
