London...

... the dawn came with a slow drizzle of rain here in Tennessee... and news that the World has been attacked again... my Wife woke me up around 4am this morning with the news of bombs rocking her Nation... phone calls were made, emails sent, and we've been watching the television all morning... as reprehensive and morally corrupt the cowardly attacks were, we both sat viewing the events as they unfolded with an aching realization... it could have been much, much worse...

... my heart goes out to all of the victims of this latest barbarity...

... on BBC America, Condoleeza Rice was asked by a British reporter if she thought these attacks were a result of "the deeply unpopular war in Iraq that the British are involved in"... she responded by saying that the attacks on 9/11 were not the result of an invasion of Afghanistan or Iraq... and she pointed out the salient fact.... a fact that we had all better realize.. and the sooner, the better..

... "this is a war of ideals"...

... this is a war of Civilization against Barbarity.. all civilized nations are targets... the scum who perpetrate such actions as this don't want political change.. they want a New World Order.. they want to bend you to their will or behead you...

... in case any of you are mistaken, this is a war for the survival of our way of life... there is no point in trying to deny it... the theory has been proved time and time again... these people can not be reasoned with... and they cannot be placated except with capitulation... today in London, another exclamation point has been added to the old sentence...

... It is either us, or them...
