Naming the Guard

We cannot excuse actions taken by radical individuals using the very system provided by the international community as a misunderstanding between cultures, between history. If you look at history, Iran, and the former Bathist party in Iraq have done such things and politicians in Washington, primarily Democrats, have excused it is better to look the other way and pretend problems will just go away, and to make it a political spin in hopes of keeping their job. When do we as a country move away from politics, and move more toward unity and defense of the very freedom that is under attack? When do we say, though you may lead a country you cannot threaten to genocide another group of people? Finally I ask, when do we learn from our history and know that excusing individuals bent on power, corruption, death, and terror only leads to World War? Excusing and blaming, using politics as a tool for the individual as opposed to the people, is the very things our forefathers made this country not to do, and yet now that is all we do, and what most people would rather believe. Do you really think the people in these Middle Eastern radical countries have that luxury to believe on their own? The answer…they believe what they are told in fear of death, imprisonment and terror, and yet we excuse it, and look to blame the President, part of the solution not part of the problem.
