Hostages in Iraq
Have you heard about the latest hostages taken in Iraq? This time it's some other radical Islam group, "Mujahideen of Jerusalem Company," or the Judean People's Front, or the People's Front of Judea, or the Judean Popular People's Front or some terrorist Islams that hate America. Now on that post over at Jawa's, a person posting as "Marcos Zuniga" or "KOS" posts that he doesn't care about the hostages, nor what happens to them. I'd like to address that point of view.
Once, long ago, when the ogre was, well, a smaller ogre, he had a different view on life. At the time, I was neither Republican nor Democrat, not really having a concern with politics. I still had strong views on different things. I remember the Iran hostage crisis, and I remember thinking, "Well gee, morons, what are you doing in the middle east in the first place?" I remember thinking that those people got what they deserved for being over there -- much the same point of view that this commenter has. Since then, however, I've grown up. These people were taken hostage for one reason, and one reason only -- because they're Americans. There are plenty of other people in the country -- many of the natives -- that could have been taken hostage. But they were not. There are many others of other nationalities that could have been taken hostage -- but the scum Islamic terrorists took the Americans. Why? Because they're Americans. That's all. These people hate Americans. No, not because we attacked Iraq, they have hated us for a lot longer than that. As much as the left does not understand, these people hate us because we're not Muslim. That really is the bottom line. They honestly and seriously want to convert the entire world to Muslim. That's their open stated goal, no matter what the media and the left want to believe. So why should we care about Americans who get taken hostage? Well, if you're on the left, you don't have to care. You see, that's the new religion to the left -- everyone for themselves. And that's one of the things that Muslims hate -- the utter self-indulgence of those in America. Yes, the left, with their current hate America attitude is actually fueling the fires of the terrorist Muslims. On the other hand, America is supposed to be the world leader. I know the left does not like this. The currently view of the left is that America should not be thought of as better than any other country -- instead, everyone, everything, and every culture should be absolutely and totally equal. That's not how it is, however. America IS better. America IS superior. And if you don't like that, you're welcome to leave America and find somewhere else that you like better. I don't see any Democrats leaving. So if America is superior, we should go in and get the hostages. No, we should never give in to the terrorists. Instead, we should destroy them. Many polls today and recently show that Americans are unhappy with Bush's strategy on Iraq. The press spins this to mean that Bush should cut and run -- the Democrat strategy. What the polls don't show is what percent of those who are unhappy with Bush's strategy that want him to do MORE, not less. The only way Muslims terrorists will be stopped is with brutal firepower. The only way to stop them is to eliminate state-sponsored religion. And the only way to do that is to start killing a lot of people. No, I don't want people to die. But if we do nothing, or if we retreat, people WILL continue to die. That's a fact. If we retreat from Iraq, the Muslim terrorists are not suddenly going to stop killing Americans. Maybe you didn't realize that we had not invaded Iraq when 9-11 happened. The only way to stop the state-sponsored religion is to start bombing countries until they stop. Does this mean that every state that has a state-sponsored religion should be on America's target list? You bet. No, it doesn't mean that we have to invade every country -- once a few give in, the rest will see that America means business -- and that the American way, with freedom of religion, really IS superior -- even if the Democrats don't like it.

I don't even know where to start, here. Your opinions are based upon defective logic and supported by casually collected semi-truths. You need to pull your view back from democrat/republican considerations as they are not entirely appropriate to your intended argument. This isn't a straight conflict between christians and muslims, it's so much more convoluted and complicated than you seem to understand.
I applaud your patriotism, as I am a proud American myself, but I just can't be bothered to lay out just how misguided your sense of political purpose is projected. Just go in and take the hostages back? Jesus Christ, dude. Go Wikipedia an article on Jimmy Carter and the Iranian hostages back in 1979. And that's just for STARTERS!

Hehe. I agree with you -- Carter really messed things up. Fast forward a few years. Note how Reagan dealt with hostages!
