Reports are coming in from Egypt and Libya about attacks against Americans.  One diplomat is dead, another is wounded.  The consulate in Benghazi has been burned, and the embassy in Cairo was stormed, and our flag was ripped down from the pole, torn to shreds, and replaced with the black flag of Islamic terror.  This was all apparently done because of outrage over a movie trailer that’s been shown online and that isn’t exactly complimentary to Islam.

The words you’re looking for are ‘Act of War’.

Where is the joint session of Congress?  Where is the image of the President addressing the country on my TV?  Where are the pictures of Marine guards shooting to defend American soil and the lives of diplomats?

Why in the world are we not leveling portions of both countries as we speak?

My guess as to the reason that significant sections of Cairo and Benghazi aren’t burning brightly enough to be seen from the moon is that our current ‘leader’ doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude necessary to flick these fleas into the fire.  I really shouldn’t be surprised that nothing is happening and that nothing is going to happen.  Obama has made a career out of only being aggressive toward people who didn’t agree with him and who didn’t have the foresight to punch back.  Heaven forfend that he execute one of the duties that is actually spelled out in the Constitution.

I’m sure over the next couple of days we’ll see some “harsh” language from the White House, followed by official condemnation of an American who expressed his God-given right to be an ass, then some bowing and scraping before we’re distracted by the next bright and shining lie.

I’m not looking for another long, drawn out war that acts as a magnet for every psycho with a couple of pounds of dynamite, a box of finishing nails, and a wild look in his eye.  I’m talking about going over there, killing people, breaking stuff, and then bringing Johnny and Janet home  for tea and medals.  Let the Muslim world clean up the mess.  Their inability to bring the man on the street up past the mid 13th century when it comes to manners caused this bloody problem in the first place.

I believe my history professor would have called this “making a desert and calling it peace”.  If they won’t love us for our friendship, let them fear us for our wrath.   Personally, I’ve run out of cheeks to turn.
