Marla reminds us that today marks the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, a date most people don't, in fact, remember. Perhaps our easily forgotten history is why so many of us stand willing to forget that we were totally blameless on the morning of 9/11/01. Oh yes, evil people have their reasons. Yep.
Emperor Hirohito had his reasons for Pearl Harbor and subsequently torturing and starving thousands of prisoners of war to death; Hawaii. Stalin had his reasons for murdering 10,000,000 people; as they starved to death in inefficient communist farms, they might revolt against him. Hitler had his reasons for murdering 6,000,000; the Jewish human beings he tortured to death were mere rats that needed to be exterminated. Pol Pot had his reasons for murdering 3,000,000 of Cambodia's best and brightest, and most helpless; a totalitarian communist society needed to be put in place. And Mohammad Atta, and his 18 fellow murderers, yep, they had their reasons for the murder of 3,500 innocent lives on 9/11/01. A political statement. A stance against the United States.
All maniacal despots have their reasons.
Well we have a stance, too. And we, too, have reasons. And 9/11/01 is the reason for that Patriot missile floating right up the Taliban asses. I hate war. But the Hirohitos, Stalins, Hitlers, Pots, and Attas cannot be loosened upon us without a fight.
Remember Pearl Harbor today.
