AN APOLOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Author unknown - sentiment shared.)
For good and ill, the Iraqi prisoner abuse mess will remain an issue.
On the one hand, right thinking Americans will abhor the stupidity of
the actions while on the other hand, political glee will take control
and fa****on this minor event into some modern day Mai Lai massacre.
I heard some Arabs and Muslims are asking for an apology. I humbly
offer mine here:
I am sorry that the last seven times we Americans took up arms and
sacrificed the blood of our youth, it was in the defense of Muslims
(Bosnia, Kosovo, Gulf War 1, Kuwait, etc..)
I am sorry that no such call for an apology upon the extremists came
after 9/11. I am sorry that all of the murderers on 9/11 were Islamic
Arabs.
I am sorry that most Arabs and Muslims have to live in squalor under
savage dictator****ps. I am sorry that their leaders squander their
wealth. I am sorry that their governments breed hate for the US in
their religious schools, mosques, and government-controlled media.
I am sorry that Yasir Arafat was kicked out of every Arab country and
highjacked the Palestinian "cause." I am sorry that no other Arab
country will take in or offer more than a token amount of financial
help to those same Palestinians.
I am sorry that the USA has to step in and be the biggest financial
sup****ter of poverty stricken Arabs while the insanely wealthy Arabs
blame the USA for all their problems.
I am sorry that our own left wing elite, our media, and our own
brainwashed (from elements of our society like radical professors, CNN
and the NY TIMES) m***** do not understand any of this. I am sorry
the United Nations scammed the poor people of Iraq out of the "food
for oil" money so they could get rich while the common folk suffered.
I am sorry that some Arab governments pay the families of homicide
bombers upon their death. I am sorry that those same bombers are
brainwashed thinking they will receive 72 virgins in "paradise."
I am sorry that the homicide bombers think pregnant women, babies,
children, the elderly and other noncombatant civilians are a
legitimate targets.
I am sorry that our troops die to free more Arabs from the gang rape
rooms and the filling of mass graves of dissidents of their own
making.
I am sorry that Muslim extremists have killed more Arabs than any
other group.
I am sorry that foreign trained terrorists are trying to seize control
of Iraq and return it to a terrorist state. I am sorry we don't drop
a few dozen Daisy cutters on Fallujah.
I am sorry every time terrorists hide they find a convenient "Holy
Site." I am sorry they didn't apologize for driving a jet into the
World Trade Center that collapsed and severely damaged Saint Nicholas
Greek Orthodox Church - one of our Holy Sites.
I am sorry they didn't apologize for flight 93 and 175, the USS Cole,
the embassy bombings, the murders and beheadings of Nick Berg and
Daniel Pearl, etc....etc!
I am sorry Michael Moore is American; he could feed a medium sized
village in Africa.
America will get past this latest absurdity. We will punish those
responsible because that is what we do. We hang out our dirty laundry
for all the world to see. We move on. That's one of the reasons we
are hated so much. We don't hide this stuff like all those Arab
countries that are now demanding an apology.
Deep down inside, when most Americans saw this re****ted in the news,
we were like - so what? We lost hundreds and made fun of a few
prisoners.
Sure, it was wrong, sure, it dramatically hurts our cause, but until
captured we were trying to kill these same prisoners. Now we're
supposed to wring our hands because a few were humiliated? Our
compassion is tempered with the vivid memories of our own people
killed, mutilated and burnt amongst a joyous crowd of celebrating
Fallujans.
If you want an apology from this American, you're going to have a long
wait. You have a better chance of finding those 72 virgins.
If you are "sorry" also, pass it on!
