"A noun, a verb and 9/11". The description of Rudolph
Giuliani's rhetoric would require mere tweaking to have application to
this no nonsense nine preening and puffing on last night's stage.
When Barack Obama entered office our country was worn down
and fed up with counting body bags. His mandate and our priority was to
bring the troops home from wars that we no longer had the stomach or
will to fight. The futility of our past strategy was evident.
But if you listened to those who spoke loudly and would
carry a very big stick, we must now kill, kill, kill our way out of
this conundrum.
Have we no memory, no understanding? The past seemed
forgotten in the fog of war created by the new mantra, "fear, death and
ISIS."
With all due respect to former President Roosevelt, we do
have something to fear other than fear itself. A Republican in the White
House.
