Fort Hood: Where the blame belongs
November 7th, 2009It’s been two days since the murders at the Fort Hood military post in Texas. I am supposed to be away from this blog – away from all things political and/or stressful, like acts of terror – yet here I am. I can’t ignore this, like I’m trying to do with the healthcare vote in Congress.
The shooting spree at Fort Hood by Maj. Nadal Malik Hasan has me seething, and doing something that may shock my regular readers: Blaming Bush.
Bush’s policy of befriending and appeasing Islam in the wake of September 11 led directly to the rampage on Thursday. If he had taken a strong stand on the domestic front; if he had marginalized the Islamic community away from security-sensitive positions, 12 soldiers, one civilian and one unborn child would be alive in Texas tonight.
One must look to the 2003 case of Sgt. Hasan Akbar, who fragged his own men in the 101st in Kuwait. Hasan must be Arabic for “coward who kills his own brothers”.
During WWII we had many German and Japanese Americans fighting for America, but they did it in exclusive regiments away from other servicemen, and under the watchful eyes of their commanders. To do so now would be considered racist, and being branded as a racist in the 21st century is akin to being branded as a witch in the 17th. It will destroy you.
Most of those tried and killed as witches were innocent, or they were healers doing their best for their communities. What of us “racists” who would toss the enemy out of positions of authority or national security? Will we, too be vindicated by history?
For those who would appease Islam at this time of war, I say take your malleus malificarum and shove it up your politically correct ass.
