Please - Our wonderful President should declare war. Then, we would be able to deliver an atomic bomb, as we did in WWII. Before they send one to America!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WITH SADNESS

Well, here we are, the 4th of July Birthday Party, it is so sad how things have changed in this country. So much fear, so much security, stock market down, greed up, so many new laws, cant look each other in the eye in passing, and what is really the cause for all this? This country was built on bible principles, yet a few people, while enjoying the benefits of this free country, want to take away our freedom to worship our God, who is the very foundation for the freedoms we all enjoy. Yet, we go so far the other way, letting our freedom cause us to allow all the immoral acts that are running awry in this land. I dont have to list them; you know what they are. What is it going to take for us to wake up, and get down on our knees, where we belong?

Is everyone so blind that we dont know that God is keeping score, and we will each and every one of us give account for what we are doing in this life, on this earth? Sure we are blind, and we better start thinking about it! We are entirely too comfortable, not that there is anything wrong with comfort, but we better start giving God some Praise and Glory for it. Thats where we seem to be falling short. God help me when Im in trouble, and Ill get with you later God, when everything is going well.

In the book of 2nd Chronicles 7:14 it states; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (kjv)

So my Christian friends, it seems like the responsibility is on us. Are we being the example we should be, and when we fall short, as we all do, do we seek God for forgiveness? Do we let our light shine or do we just blend in with the rest of the world?

My Christian brothers and sisters, through prayer, and a desire to follow Christ example, we have access to all the power there is in this life to change ourselves, others, and to see healing in this land&.think about it!

I feel that it was a cowardly act, by people who for the longest we tolerated, in an effort to always be politically correct. There are times when one must look at the truth for what it is. Muslins must come to grip with the reality of things. Many in the Muslins world see us as the infidels who have no place in society. If these people want peace, they should first make an effort to start with their own community rather than demand others take action to help stop the violence that is inherently caused by them. It seems that everytime we intervene in another country to solve their internal problems, Americans lose lives, and those same people later accuse us of being the bad guys. Take responsibility for the violence you commit, and make an efforts to stop it yourself by enforcing the established laws. Don't condone prejudism as do many is in the Muslins countries. Mind you, there is a small minority of Muslisms who feels these hatred is wrong, but are only vocal to those in the western world; these same people are intimidated or not brave enough to speak against the violence and hatred caused by their own people. Break the cycle of violence and hatred, and your problems will disappear. Be warned though! Leave us out of your violence; just don't bring harm upon us, or expect retaliation like you never seen. We are strong, and born out of a defiant society who strongly believes in freedom, democracy and human rights. We don't like being attacked, and then seeing you enjoy the freedoms we fought and die for. Stop demonstrating in our city streets. Take your protest to Palestine or other terrorist States. Only those who are American citizens have earned that right. If you hate us so badly, then you need to go back to where you came from.

It's about time the "outsiders" GOT the message:

IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individuals or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have been experiencing a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. Apparently it's not enough that we basically close our eyes in letting anybody and everybody into this country, now we have to pay for their healthcare, and (if some people had their way) set them up with driver's licenses. I have no problem with people who came into this country legally, but if we catch you here ILLEGALLY the least we should be able to do is send you back. Now they want people like me and you to compensate the illegal immigrants¢ families killed on 9/11. Is the Government going to compensate my family if an illegal runs me over in the street with one of the driver's licenses we issued him? I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost entirely composed of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand: this idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. My great grand father, grand father and father all served this country and two of them died early in age due to wounds from the wars my father was wounded but nothing serious. My family paid their dues to this country and I am proud of them. So you people who dont believe in our troops and what they are doing just remember you have the freedom and the other amenities only we here in the USA have because our military has made this a country of freedom. We have to be the police of the world because if not who else would? In addition, if we cant protect this country we will become (in prison terms someone elses ****) All these third world countries that have NUKES would be killing each other so that one could rule the world including us. Why do you think Pakistan has not nuked Israel? Nor Iraq nuked us or Israel. I will tell you why: if they had done they would feel the wrath of the USA; we keep the world in check. We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! I know you might think Im a racist and only like Americans but my wife is 100% Chinese born and raised in China. She also has a PHD in political science and looks at things in a perspective some of us cant. I love her very much and always value her opinion as well as anyone else¢ in this world whether I agree or not on any issue. "In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, and political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But, once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. AND DONT LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read with great disgust regarding the computer that was abscounded from Kandahar and was alleged to have belonged to the Taliban/AlQuaida network. The Journal out of London had verified that the computer did belong to the terrorist network, and pointed out memos and correspondence found within, which verified this fact. What repulsed me the most about this fact is that one of the so-called points brought up the point that the Taliban found out about how easy it was to buy supplies for, and produce biological weapons of mass destruction solely from the "American Media." If you ask me, the media here in the U.S., is very much at fault in helping to breach our national security because of all the so-called news stories they've published in the past by trying to educate the American public on just how easy it can be to get the supplies for these weapons of mass destruction. As far as I'm concerned, because of the media's flagrant use of our so-called freedom of Speech as well as the need to sensationalize everything the they can get their hands on, have in my eyes, become the our own worst enemy when it comes to our national security! Come on guys, how about using just a little more common sense when it comes to giving us news regarding certain things that may used against us in the future by terrorists not only abroad, but those living here in the U.S. as well.

The attacks have made me very angry--too angry. I need a chill pill. But we crushed our enemy after Pearl Harbor, and we'll crush them again. I feel uncomfortable with the changes Ashcroft wants to make, but I think we have to bite the bullet on this one because the enemy is within this time. And from what I've read about these Islamic terrorists who foam religion from their mouths like rabid dogs, they are extremely dangerous and mean to do us great harm. I believe a whole series of laws should be developed to deal with people who engage in this activity (the pursuit of mass murder) that raises punishment for all aspects of it to a higher level. For those who aid, abet, contribute financially or in any way, something along the order of life (and I mean LIFE)imprisonment in a 5' x 5'cell out in some no-mans-land desert or island with no frills except their tombstone so they can think about how they'd like to be remembered. I include John Walker in this wish. First, they need to issue him a clown suit.

There's no question that we've all been touched by these events. I'm a Muslim, and an American Citizen, and it frustrates me to know that often times there are those who think that these two things cancel each other out. They do not.

Upset, angry, sorrowed. I am all of these and more in regards to the tragedy of September 11th. Christians, Jews, and Muslims all died together in those towers. There's no justification for that, regardless of the religion of the aggressor.

From all of this, if nothing else, let's take away a sense of greater understanding. Let's learn what differentiates a deeply religious and spiritual person from a hardlining zealot with misdirected anger. The Osama's and the David Koresh's of this world; let them be lumped together and eventually left to wither, forgotten, in the shallow, unmarked graves of history.

Now, share your feelings. Share your thoughts. Share your stories. http://www.WhereWereYouOn911.com

Thank you, Imran

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE

As Christmas approaches I cant help but wonder if there is possibly some type of terrorist act planned for our most sacred holiday. Even more so, I cant help but be concerned on how to stop these senseless acts against humanity. Most Christians would tell you that prayer is the answer. I would strongly agree except I believe it goes beyond just prayer. We can petition God 24/7 and Im sure that it will help in some cases but I really believe it as the Word of God says in 2nd Chronicles 7:14, that if we turn from our wicked ways, God will heal our land. So if that is true, then we as individuals need to take a good look at the way we are living and cease from any wrongdoing we are caught up in. Believe me I am not trying to play judge and jury here. We have to judge ourselves. I have my own faults to consider.

Gods Word tells us that the Bible was written as the instruction book for righteous living. Our problem is that we want to change (interpret) the rules to conform to our own lifestyle. We are all probably guilty of it from time to time. But when it comes down to the truth, we cant change the rulebook. First we have to read it!

This has been a struggle ever since Adam and Eve. The best part is that we are blessed if we obey His commandments and sad but true we are cursed if we dont. This doesnt mean we live happily ever after if we obey. There will always be trials of various sorts in our lives and we will have to make some pretty difficult decisions. That is where prayer and trust becomes our daily way of life. Some issues in life we will never understand. But we must realize that only God knows the purpose and we must trust in Him. Then and only then do we find peace.

We can never legislate morality. Any fault we are involved in can be over come if we have the desire to turn from it. God wants to help each and every one of us but first we have to ask and make an honest effort to turn from our particular faults. I believe once He sees we are serious, He can change our hearts desires. How long will it take will depend on how serious we are as individuals. We can start by letting go of the problem.

It is so easy for us to point fingers when problems arise, but lets remember as we point the finger, there are 3 more pointing right back at us.

Where do we go from here&..lets all start at the mirror.

I'd love to hear more about the mass-murder of muslims. We should've helped Milosevic out while we had the chance - He was apparently doing the right thing regarding muslims in Yugoslavia. We simply aided the wrong side and I regret having supported the war against him and the victorious Serbs.

I am beyond upset and comprehension in regards to what is really going on here. I'd like to view my self as an American Peace Loving Humanitarian. Seeing Crimes against humanity in every country deeply impacts me. I am an American, so it especially gets to me when it's in my own back yard where all my loves ones are.

If I could send an Arabic message to the terrorists it would ask where were you when all the white Muslims were being injustly slaughtered in a horrific attempt to commit genocide (and who was there). Why would a civilian be more a threat to you then those who actually defamed the beliefs of Islam by commiting the acts just mentioned. Where did all the millions of dollars, that we know you harbor for crimes against humanity, (what you call jihad when it's not)go when your own people were starving in the streets homeless. Who do you think you are protecting when the ones you claim you do you slaughter. Why do you claim to follow a religion of peace and one that believes in one God who is the only one with the right to judge, yet you judge and execute horrific acts as though you were Him. Why do you claim to follow Islam and judge others when you don't.
