We Are One Nation under God?
At a time when the sounds of hatred are filling the media and the cyberspace, I have the urge to share my thoughts with whoever reads my words. Alas, the hatred spreads wherever it finds weakness and bad faith. I noticed that the spontaneous reactions from politicians and from people are leading us to certain hasty conclusions and sometimes nasty ones. Sometimes we forget that we are one nation under God. Some people are fighting our fellow Americans with the same fervor and tenacity as if they were fighting our enemies, sometimes, for the love of a party or sometimes for the love of our country.
Certain negative statements from political leaders or journalists should not discourage us, nor blur the vision of our path of wisdom and peaceful future. Those who think they are defending our country should ask themselves if by doing so they are not interfering with any action that those in charge are trying to take for the sake of our entire nation. Sometimes leaders with or without intention can cause an irreparable damage to our soldiers and to the nation.
Those who think they project the future, in reality can be mistaken and sometimes they are no longer around to see the results of their actions, if they were successful or not. The consequences can be beneficial or disastrous. It does not matter who is right and who is wrong, we are in the middle of a war and amidst entire nations, which are called Iraq, Afghanistan,soon will be maybe Iran and knows who else. For the sake of the human race and for the sake of our children we have to help these nations find their freedom and peace as our fathers did it for us.

First we need to put our house in order, our universal care on top of the pharmaceutical and monetary greed needs.
First we need to see that our elderly are taken care of, that our War Veterans don't hide their faces in beggar's shame.
First we need to resolve the illegal immigrant problem, not those that come here to work and go back home, but the illegal criminals that come here like leeches to mix with our own local grow. To those we need a high barbed fence, not the physical kind that some harebrained bureaucrat wanted to set on one of our borders.
First we need to end that pissing contest between FBI, CIA, NS, Homeland Security and so on, to have a national center where ALL information, dechiffering, morsels of info, can go through the grinder and come out with a solution and not with an appendix to an ongoing problem.
First we need a Commander in Chief without private or personal economic interest as a Commander, letting the Generals to do the strategy and the experienced soldiers the battle, without the meddling of pencil pushers that can't hit the barn's wall from three feet with a rock.
Then, and only then, we can go out and help restore other people's democracy, because we will have the fiber and moral to do so.
Until then...we deserve to hear what Stanton, Farrakhan and Bin Laden have to say.
