A Sad Day for London

A very sad day today for all freedom loving people with the bombing of three tube stops and a city bus in London's city center. Thoughts and prayers go out to the people of London and those with family and friends there who touched in some way by these events.

I myself have friends in the area who in one way or another put themselves in harms way by doing nothing more than taking the outsanding public transportation system that London provides. I myself have been to all three of the tube stops that were hit today as well....very well knowing that could have been me on that train, fighting to get out because some jackoff with a cause decided to go see Allah.

Please excuse my soapbox, but it is times like this that we must remember several VERY important things.

1) We are still at war. Don't believe the evening news...Michael Moore or anybody else who tells you we are losing the war on terror. We are winning the war because we live our life here at home as if nothing is going on. If you haven't turned on a TV or gone to an airport in the past 3 years, you probably would never know there is an entire faith of people who want us all dead. You can argue Iraq is another Vietnam. You can argue we went about this all wrong. But the point is, we are winning because the fight is not in our backyard. I remember sitting in the car, driving home 27 hours from LA on 9/11...thinking to myself that this was the beginning of the end. Mass drafts, countries would fall, hundreds of thousands of troops would die to eradicate terrorism for what they did to us. But alas, aside from the brave troops who have died in Afghanistan and Iraq...our casualties have been relatively nil.

2) It could be so much worse. If a terrorist group gains control of a nuclear bomb, this will seem like a picnic not even worth remembering.

3) Liberals can argue that we created this. That our own policies have brewed this hatred towards all thing western culture. The truth be told, this is far beyond that. The truth be told that this has gone on for 2,000 years+...the U.S. has been around a paultry 229. The fact that our people are educated and are able to think and act freely is something so radical, so revolutionary, that uneducated and impoverished fools abroad do not have the capability to deal with their own existance. As women are kept like dogs, and literacy hovers around 5% in the arab world...think for a moment who is right and who is wrong here. Nature has a food chain...humanity has a food chain. And although it is necessary to help those in need, you must also remember that the food chain will always exist, and there will always be those who hate us because we have more than they do. They then lean on religion as their only way to escape.

I'm not a world leader...I'm not a person capable of making change to anybody outside my family....but I will live my life as best I can, all the while thanking those who sacrafice their life and their family's well-being to protect us.

God bless England and her citizens today. I hope this reminds us just what kind of scum we are dealing with in a war that seems to exist only on TV.
