Well Now -
Cease Fire folks !!
To All Colonials - The big fight with The Red Coats ended about 230 years ago. That is if you don't count the confrontation where the boys from the British Isles burned Washington pretty good.
But - since then things seemed to have been considerably more amiable. True - we came really close to making German the official language here in the USA - Now think how that might have changed the history books !! But that's another subject.
Point is - we should not be at each others throats on the things I've seen in here. We all know that what we have right now is " The Greatest Security Show On Earth " - It has many holes - It is infuriating - It is amatuerish - We all hope to God that it will improve dramatically before it's too late. As regards the funding of terrorists - We all have problems in this area. Collectively we have all been remiss as regards these types of people. Perhaps this will change. We have all had a hand in creating most of the monsters turned lose in the world - the reasons are too many to list. I think it is now safe to say that we can no longer allow ourselves the luxury of this form of neglect. It has now gone way too far. Yes - we as Americans have been shocked by what happened - Our neglect/disregard/arrogance to a certain degree backed up on us in one big swoop. We now have to face the facts as they are in todays world - and we must deal with them - now.
We have called on our freinds - Yes Colonials that includes England - to join with us to go fight this fight.
Our countries are now the best freinds each other has in this world.
We have been there for them on a number of notable occassions - ie WWI, WWII, Falklands. They have returned our help in kind - and will continue to do so. Who else can you say that of?
We are in this together - to the end.

We shall stand or fall together.

United We Stand.

Best Regards To All
