My heart weeps for our Motherland and all her people. God Bless them all.

Six (not really) Haiku


 


England is bleeding


The free world weeps for her loss


Terrorists beware


 


Not a Tea Party


Nor a gentlemen’s picnic


This is bloody war


 


Stop the politics


Untie the hands of soldiers


Let Generals command


 


We tried to be fair


The Terrorists made the rules


Let’s do war their way


 


More senseless murders


Send in the Mad Dogs of War


End the heinous games


 


Death their holy goal


We can speed up the process


Give them what they want

But then again if normal people did not employ restraint wouldn't we be falling into the trap of these few crazy criminals?

Yup, the political wrangling which is not interested in much beyond having the biggest say and voice to further its own ends is a right pain in the arse. And certainly it is the blanket stackers and stuffed shirts that tie the hands of those who are trained to fight and who are the ones to actually have a feel for what is happening on the ground, back in the real world. Rien se change. Thank you for your passion and voice, Sherry. It all does seem pretty much like a tea party to me though... the Mad Hatter's One that baffled poor Alice! Think I'll just get back in the teapot... LOL Kate xx

Sherry,
Yes, they need to gag the politicians, and give the war to those that know how to get the job done. We are either going to win this war, or lose it, there is no in-between. We are not going to sit down at a peace talk and walk away with a treaty. We are fighting terrorism, not a uniformed army, and there is no way of knowing exactly who is and who isn't the enemy. The only thing we are truly sure of, is that they are out to kill innocent civilians, no matter where they are or who they are. They have an agenda of murder and mayhem, and at any cost they are willing to carry out their sickening acts.
It was America on 9/11, it was Bali, it was Madrid, it was London...and so many others before..They are not going to stop, unless we stop them.
Our prayers and condolences are with those in England, as they try and heal from the most recent attacks..We know their pain, we feel their frustrations, and we weep for their losses.
Excellently said Sherry!

Brava Sherry! It's time to get off the pot...People seem to think
we can compromise or find other solutions, must we wait until we
have nothing left to fight for ot with? That's what the terrorists want, to weaken us until we can't fight back. The time has come for serious action! Excellent ku Sherry, first rate!

Love,
Eileen

If only we could silence the politicians who grab at anything and say anything and blame everyone but the perpetrators to advance their political agenda. It sickens me. You have said it well Sherry.
