Stu Byofsky writes for the Philadelphia Inquirer:
ONE MONTH from The Anniversary, I’m thinking another 9/11 would help America.
What kind of a sick bastard would write such a thing?
A bastard so sick of how splintered we are politically – thanks mainly to our ineptitude in Iraq – that we have forgotten who the enemy is.
It is not Bush and it is not Hillary and it is not Daily Kos or Bill O’Reilly or Giuliani or Barack. It is global terrorists who use Islam to justify their hideous sins, including blowing up women and children….
America’s fabric is pulling apart like a cheap sweater.
What would sew us back together?
Another 9/11 attack.
The Golden Gate Bridge. Mount Rushmore. Chicago’s Wrigley Field. The Philadelphia subway system. The U.S. is a target-rich environment for al Qaeda.
Is there any doubt they are planning to hit us again?
If it is to be, then let it be. It will take another attack on the homeland to quell the chattering of chipmunks and to restore America’s righteous rage and singular purpose to prevail.
The unity brought by such an attack sadly won’t last forever.
The first 9/11 proved that.
Ah, 2001. Oh, for the good old days when we ran around freaking out and nobody complained much when civil liberties were suspended, when everybody flew American flags, when even NPR made sure nobody said mean things about President Bush, when you could see “United We Stand” stickers bumper to bumper down I-481…
There was some phrase for that: One People, United Government… I think it was in German, maybe…
Wait a minute. Did she compare the demands of the American people for freedom with the chattering of chipmunks?!?
Oh, liberty and all that, blah, blah, blah, the Bill of Rights, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Oh, how annoying it must be for Stu Byofsky to have to hear the sound of people speaking out of step with his own nationalist opinion!
