A day of remembrance

Do you remember where you were when you heard the twin towers were hit? There was a Country song popular in 02 or 03 with just that question, do you remember.

Do no only remember those who died but of equal or greater importance is why they died. The other side declared war on us that day in a way we could not ignore (World Trade Center 1993), rationalize (US Embassy's in East Africa 1998) or write off as a one off (USS Cole 1999 I think). We are at war and need to keep fighting until the other side surrenders or dies. They started it we should finish it and fight it on our terms and not on the terms imposed by those who are on the sideline or the other side who ignore all the rules and yet demand we follow the rules.

If you are so inclined, there is an online petition (yes another one), but this one is by Victory Caucus. The petition reads as follow:

We, the undersigned, call on our national leaders and fellow citizens to resist calls for a premature withdrawal from Iraq and to support America's troops under the new commander, Gen. David Petraeus, as they implement a bold new strategy designed to bring a successful completion to their mission.

I urge you to sign it, petitioning our government is one of the rights in our constitution, just hope a few will listen to us.
